I was happily editing a file in Emacs when suddenly - nothing. Whenever I
press a key there is beep but no other responce.  It appears to fail for
all text entry gadgets while using Gnome. The keyboard works fine under KDE
and for user logins.   Anyone have an idea what might be going on?

Im using Fedora core I

I had the same problem. Typing an email in Evolution and -hey- keyboard sto pped 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 f ilters tab, and un-checking 'enable slow keys' put things back to normal. Hope this saves someone else out there some frustration.
