No one ever really figured out anything definite. However, general consensus
seems to be "It's a bug in GTK", "some GTK app is grabbing the keyboard", "seems
to be fixed in newer GTK versions".

So since you are already killing stuff: Try killing random GTK apps. That should
produce more helpful results for which app is grabbing input.

Oh and only way to cause this that I heard about was "Click and drag the resize
grip that GTK draws in the lower-right corner of its windows".
