    I have got a strange problem with a keyboard in Gnome.
    The keyboard works fine in gdm login window, but when I login in to Gnome the keyboard stopped:
    Nothing displays when I press any key jsad.png

    I try to delete _all_ files/directories (with "dot" files/dirs ) in my homedir and login to Gnome. I expect for default
    gnome session, but gnome-panel starts with some of my configs. Why??? icon_evil.gif

    Then I restore my homedir content and rename a user:

    #usermod -l new_user user

    When I login to Gnome, some of my config lost and keyboard worked fine.

    Then I rename the user back, set WindowMaker as my window manager:
    $ cat .xsession
    #!/bin/bash
    exec /usr/bin/wmaker

    Login to X, start gnome-panel manualy - keyboard works fine!!!
    After using gnome-font-properties the keyboard stopped.
    I think, the problem is in some of Gnome configs, but I don't know where it is stored.
