Oh bummer, bugger, blimey... :( I found my culprit: It's the tleds package! How did I found out: At home I go online via WLAN, no keystrokes missing. That made me think. I remembered darkly from yesterdays installation of Dapper and browsing through software, that the tleds packages mentions a VERY RARE occurence of unusable keyboards while using tleds, but only for older laptops e.g Thinkpad 600 and some HP laptop or laptops with overly long cables. So I thought, come on, a Thinkpad like my R51 will be properly designed, shouldn't be a prob. Well, turns out, that this is not true. tleds by default only monitors only eth0. That's why I did not see any missing keystrokes now using the WLAN via eth1. To confirm I connected to my router via cable and switched off eth1. First there was no problem, but when I increased the netload by using a NASA TV stream like I had it at work this afternoon, I reproduced the bug very clearly. So, everybody, check if you also like me, couldn't resist the geekiness of tleds and installed this semi-useful program. ;) I'm glad now, that I can stay with Kubuntu for now. Yeah! So, please cancel my confirmation of this bug and sorry for the noise. Regards, Michael
