I tried enabling it and disabling it again, but the keys remain scrambled. Also noticeable: the left key seems to be Alt; Insert, Delete, Home End, and Page Up seem to do nothing; Page Down acts like the context menu key (I just tried it and it acted like I'd right-clicked, it's supposed to be the key next to Right Ctrl that you never use). The best I can figure is that deactivating the Keyboard Layouts option actually wiped out another conflicting setting (which I never had)... and that when KDE chokes on this conflict (or mine) it punts and uses a similarly broken layout. This is in a mostly up-to-date Gentoo, but it's interesting to note that in my friend's mostly up-to-date Kubuntu, he has basically NO keyboard once he logs into KDE. The quick fix is to remove your ~/.kde directory (or .kde3.5) and the problem is solved. This worked in that Kubuntu setup, but I haven't tried it yet in mine... here goes.

I am a parent of teens who blogs about issues that affect kids... this is one that I believe so strongly in... extracurriculars are what build students into the adults they become and they are so important to a well-rounded education and a well - rounded person. Keep up all your great work. Wow! i haven’t upon Students 2.0 and I am very impressed with all of you.

In my situation I updated to the latest kde and xorg and found my keyboard had gone south just as you described. I turned off keyboard layouts in kde and it works again.
