Bug Description

When pressing "calculator" key on my MS Comfort Curve keyboard I get a crash from "kded". And then none of the special keys work until I restart. Worked fine in Gutsy as I remember.

Running Kubuntu Hardy.

Thank you for filing this bug.
This is in KDE 3?
Is there a crash dialog that pops up? Can you provide the backtrace? If so, please install kdebase-dbg, then get a backtrace, and post it here as an attachment.
To get keys to work again you can just run kded instead of restarting.

Backtrace Edit (2.4 KiB, text/plain)

Oh, sorry. I'm using KDE 3.5.9 on Hardy. And there is the crash dialog.

All my friends using Kubuntu Hardy also say the same. If I try to run kded the Konsole just says it's already running. So it seems it doesn't completely crash then, but without restart the keys wont work.
