Try going to System->Preferences->Keyboard Preferences Then, go to the Accessibility tab and see if the "Only accept long keypresses" option is checked. If it is, then un-check it. I surmise that the accessibility options are related to any other input "bugs" too. I am guessing that these get wormed through dbus, hald, and/or system-tools-backends. The annoying thing is I remember going through this hell *last time* I upgraded GNOME and I had completely forgotten how I fixed it. It's almost like a cruel joke (at my expense) that one of these accessibility options gets toggled every time I upgrade GNOME. -- Coleman Kane
