I had the same problem. Typing an email in Evolution and -hey- keyboard stopped working. The keyboard worked fine in the console and under gdm but not during the gnome session.
It turns out that a preference set from the app gnome-accessibility-keyboard-properties had automagically set itself to annoy me...
In my case launching gnome-accessibility-keyboard properties, going to the filters tab, and un-checking 'enable slow keys' put things back to normal.
Hope this saves someone else out there some frustration. |
