    I tried to send this email to opensuse@opensuse.org first, but it
    didn't come to me through the mailing list ::shrug::

    SuSE 10.0.

    I recently switched from Fedora Core where I was used to Gnome. So,
    when I switched to SuSE, I made sure that all of the Gnome and GTK
    stuff was installed and Gnome was the default. I thought I'd give KDE
    a try, since it's SuSE's default and there are a lot of programs that
    I'm not using which are KDE based.

    After I switched, using the "Session" link at the bottom of the
    greeter, I can't use the keyboard. I know it works, I just can't use
    it from within KDE. I can't type in a Konsole terminal... I can't use
    CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch to the actual console. I can't open the YaST
    Control Center properly because I can't type the root password when
    I'm prompted.

    If I use the mouse to log out, or end my session, I can type again...
    I can log in. Everything works fine in Gnome.

    I read something from an old message that seems to describe this
    problem in relation to upgrading KDE, but this is the first time I've
    run KDE.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks,
        Vince
