Rebooting did not help. And as I have said, this problem appears only
after logging in kde - in KDM and console (ctrl+alt+f1) works just
fine, so this is definitely not X.org problem. I'm also using russian
keyboard layout, and the corresponding russian letter, located on the
'e' key, also is not typed.

does not look like this issue - I can't type 'e' in any application
(qt, gtk or plain X) and as root key is also not typed
