But I strongly suspect that you have "scim" installed? If so, please try remvoing it and see if that fixes the problem. Yes, I was running scim and removing it did fix the problem.  Thanks!! FYI, I had the backtrace just in case it was useful, and had pasted it into an earlier verison of this reply, but then irrevocably hosed gnome when I removed scim.  Removing the packages did no damage, but left scim running,  Killing the scim processes left the keyboard in gnome disfunctional, even after killing and restarting xorg.  I gave up and rebooted. Synaptic is more useful to me than scim.  It is nice to have synaptic back. By any chance, is there an input method editor you would suggest to replace scim?  I use it occassionally for Korean.  Or perhaps you have a resolution to the conflict in the queue?
