           Summary: all apps using keyboard except firefox cannot receive
                    'e' !!
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jason.vas.dias at gmail.com


Version:           4.2 @ SVN svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde    2009-04-24T00:34:26.623405Z 9 (using KDE
4.2.2)
Compiler:          gcc-4.4.1 glibc-2.9.90
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

I checked out and successfully built KDE 4.2 from SVN : 

svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde

2009-04-24T00:34:26.623405Z

with "qt-copy" 4.5 successfully built & installed 

  ~~~~ MANY THANKS ! ~~~~

and everything except kdm seems to work, up to a point -

But then NOTHING CAN READ 'e' from the keyboard under KDE 4.2 !!

/usr/bin/firefox :

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.5, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2008 mozilla.org

can read 'e's, but no KDE app, or emacs, can read 'e' from the keyboard
from Xorg server :

X.Org X Server 1.6.99.1
Release Date: (unreleased)
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.30-rc2-tip-jvd x86_64 
Current Operating System: Linux jvdspc 2.6.30-rc3-tip-jvd #2 SMP Sat Apr 25
04:55:46 EDT 2009 x86_64
Build Date: 20 April 2009  10:35:14PM

When KDE 4.2 windows manager is running ! 

ie. I can successfully do a 

 $ export DISPLAY=:0 ; kde4 startkde

but after doing that command. I have to kill the X server and restart it with
eg :
 $ Xorg :0 vt7
in order to again be able to use the 'e' key with any pure X-Windows or KDE app
.

This even affects password entry, so I infer this is some weird TTY
line-discipline thing KDE is doing ?

How can I turn off the KDE TTY line discipline ?

Anyone got any 'e' for KDE 4.2 ?
