[kde-linux] Non-KDE program won't recognize keyboard

[thomas]

	Hello!  Have Debian 2.6.26 with KDE 3.5.  Trying to install PMfax for linux 
(a non-KDE program).  It works, but I can't enter any information into 
anything with the keyboard including initial setup information, phone 
numbers, etc.; mouse DOES work.  Any suggestion on how to enter info with the 
keyboard or get it to recognize the keyboard.

Thank you for reading this; all  attempts to help greatly appreciated.
