Upgrade 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 : no more keyboard !

Hi !

I'm using gentoo, and I've just compiled 3.2.2
If I keep my ~/.kde3.2/share/config directory, my keyboard only works with opera, and all other applications will crash when I try to type something.

If I juste move it kde3.2.old kde will work perfectly with my keyboard.
but I would like to keep all my settings, does anybody know where the probleme could come from ?

that .kde3.2 part seems little strange to me, I have never seen a version number in .kde directory before. Have you tried to move .kde3.2 to just .kde? Or do you have more than one KDE installed on your system and want to keep configurations separate? Or is that just some specific Gentoo thing, that .kde<version-number>?

I don't know, but I guess it's gentoo.
I've got .kde AND .kde3.2. If I remove them both, they will be created when I'll start KDE.

I was desperate, so I did remove both directories, and started all over again... when I finaly finished configurating the whole thing, the probleme appeared again. KDE becomes very unstable...

Is there a KDE log somewhere which could help me ?

try to look from ~/.xsession-errors, you might find some information there.

I got the same thing. Gave up and went to straight Qt.
