I have lost use of the keyboard in one account.
The keyboard works to log in, but quits thereafter
The keyboard works fine in other accounts.
The keyboard works fine in the victim account if I log in with gnome.
I believe that narrows it down to an initialization script in KDE, probably in /config, but where ?
It sounds like a KDE issue, specific to that user. You can always wipe out that users KDE files and rebuild them. I'd suggest just renaming them and then login to KDE again. Something like this...
Thank you Chromezero. Yes, it is a KDE issue particular to that user.
If I rename the .kde folder so that it gets rebuilt, that will certainly fix the problem. I can then make a backup of the new .kde, thn copy things from the backup folder to restore most setting, and take note which copy knocks out the keyboard, then do that copy again, but from the backup of the renewed .kde, fixing the keyboard and solving where that is located.
