Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-03-22 14:41:19 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

This has been reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=398983

The bug is that it is possible to boot into KDE
under some special conditions. When kdm is in autologon, and you switch
to a different console before the logon occurs, stay there until the
system logs you on, and then switch back, there is no keyboard in KDE. I
 don't know if this also happens when booting a different desktop
environment.
It is not really severe. the mouse still works, and logging out and in
again restores the keyboard, but it is something that shouldn't happen

this is clearly related to bug #125318, but it is not the same thing.

windowmaker suffers the same problem, but it gets a grip again once you drag around a window.
so that's pretty definitely an x server problem, the question is only in how far we can (and want) to work around it.

It is the same thing.
