Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
After having locked the screen and pressing a button (or moving the mouse pointer) and having unlocked the screen, X no longer accepts keyboard input, though I can still switch to the console using Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6].
If I open the keyboard preferences (System > Preferences > Keyboard), the keyboard works fine again.
The problem appears with the internal keyboard in my laptop, I haven't tried it on my desktop, since the problem only appeared this morning. This is on a fully updated lucid system.

I have this as well. I can clear the keyboard lock by rotating the compiz cube by mouse clicking on the display applet.
