Comment 52 for bug 195982

Looks very similar/related, however many of the reporters there have been able to type setxkbdmap to fix it, or have been able to run od -x, etc.. in my case that is not possible since typing any key at all in a terminal causes the app to segfault and close, and I have never observed the repeating key symptoms that are mentioned there either. Perhaps there is a common cause, or maybe there are two bugs here ?
