I'm having the same problem with a fresh install of Kubuntu Hardy Beta (released on march 20).
I made a fresh install on a Dell XPS m1210. One of the first things I tried (maybe is what spoiled things up as someone mentioned it) was trying to use desktop effect (compiz and installed compizconfig-setting- manager) and played with it for a while until I uninstalled and went back to the more reliable and customizable kwin. The first problem I notice was that afterwards I could set a shortcut using Win (Super)... I pressed Win+X and it received only X. And afterwards all kind of keyboard problems: Not able to use other modifiers (for Alt+F2 for example). And also noticed the problem with not being able to repeat keys, even though changing the repeat key settings. I imagine that before the compiz try I didn't have this issues since they are so annoying, that I believe I would notice them before. The problem is that they persist even after removing (purging) every compiz package...
