Forgot to mention: This is on KUbuntu 14.04.3 LTS, running very recent rebuilds of KDELibs, KDE-Runtime, KDE-BaseApps and certain others, using the Trusty packaging scripts (cf. ppa:rjvbertin/kde-git). I've been running such builds for over a year now without ill effects, so it shouldn't be causing this new behaviour unless something related to kxkb (kxkbd?) changed in a very recent commit to kdelibs. Help? R. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list. Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde. Archives: http://lists.kde.org/.
