Everyone, I think I just found my problem. Maybe I panicked when I couldn't use my console window.
My problem was corrected by going to System | Configuration | KDE | Regional & Accesibility | Accessibility. Under the Keyboard Filters tab, there is a check box for slow keys and a speed slider bar. This check box had been checked and others maybe ? I'm not sure. I cleared the "slow keys" check box and everything is back to normal. I can now use the console as root with a password. My PC was working fine until I used the Kover app, I used no strange keystrokes or combinations during or after using the app. I have not tried yet to see if I can duplicate the problem, but I will, to determine if it definitely is a problem with Kover that other users might need to know about.
Sorry for the public alarm, after 2 days of trial and error I panicked being alone with this problem.
The LQ Forum is the only place I have to turn to when being the Linux "Lone Ranger"
Thanks again,
Scott
