This has happened to me in kde. I don't know the correct word for
this. There is a feature for disabled users and it is installed by
default. If you inadvertently hold down a key, it pops up  with a
prompt and if you are not paying attention, you say yes, and then
keyboard gets put into a weird mode where it does not seem to work at
all. I quit using KDE when I saw what they had planned for version 4,
so I don't have access to it right now.  But if you don't make some
progress, write back to the list. I will reinstall kde to find the
name of that thing.

A way to test my theory would be either
1. in the display manager log in screen, choose a different kind of
session, Gnomme, WindowMaker, XFCE, whaatever.  If keys work, you know
KDE is to blame.
2. log in as a different user. then su to the problem user, cd to his
home, mv .kde .kde-old. log out, log in.  That should start from a
clean slate.
