Bug#374026: Try deleting dotfiles...
I also experienced keyboard failure after upgrading to Lenny and running
Thunderbird. I was replying to a mail and hit ctrl-shift-r, then
couldn't type anything else. Logging out with the mouse, the keyboard
still worked in gdm and on a virtual console.
I noticed that I was the only user on the system with the problem, so I
deleted all the .dotfiles in my home directory, and the problem went away.
Cheers!
Daniel
