OK, apparently I'm the only person seeing this on the mailing list. Unlike the author of the linuxquestions report above, changing my keyboard map does NOT help me. I still get the same problem regardless.
Now a question for the list:
Which package should I file a bug against? Between Xorg and KDE I'm not sure where to start -- although I'm pretty sure it's a KDE thing and not X. Plasma desktop? Or is there some subcomponent of KDE that handles the keyboard specifically?
