--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I encountered two problems today with the keyboard: one solvable and another
not solvable AFAIK. None of them appear when Ctrl+Alt+F1
Although my KDE is in British English, my keyboard layout was another one.
Today, the layout in KDE (not when Ctrl+Alt+F1) switched to UK layout. I
solved it by defining two layouts in the KDE Control Centre, but this is
still a bug that should be fixed.
On the other hand, for both layouts (including the UK layout), *the scroll
keys do not work*. "Right", "left" and "down" do nothing. "Up" launches
Ksnapshot. THIS IS THE GRAVE BUG. It does not appear when Ctrl+Alt+F1.

I am closing this old bug report since most of input-hotplug stuff
have been implemented properly since then, and then we switched
from hal to udev, making part of this discussion irrelevant.
Then many people commented with not-so related issues.
So this bug an obsolete mess now.
Please open a new bug report if still having issues in unstable.
