hi all,

i've been running SuSE 9.2Pro + KDE-unstable without any issue.  very cool.

after a recent update to latest KDE beta (from component: kde-unstable) i've 
lost the ability to type any keystrokes when auto-logged-in.

specifically, if i start in failsafe mode, i can type at the console. if from 
the console i 'startx' as either ROOT or MYUSER, up comes my usual desktop and 
everything works great. i can open any application and type ...

however, if i use my standard auto-login set up to boot into user MYUSER, the 
desktop comes up as i'd expect.

i can mouse around, point-n-click & launch apps, but keyboard input is DOA -- 
nothing.

not in konsole, browser, etc. -- just nothing.

to troubleshoot, i've gone the usual route of moving my /home/MYUSER/.kde out 
of the way, and deleting all .x*, .X* and .ICE* files ...

after reboot, absolutely the same behavior as above.  autologin into ROOT has 
the same issue.

any wisdom/suggestions as to where to look/what to do here? this is driving me 
nuts :-S

cheers,

richard
