I "fixed" this problem by turning off the keyboard repeat option.
In XFCE:
Settings --> Keyboard Settings --> Settings --> Typing Settings --> [ ] Repeat
I still have the problems mentioned with konqueror (opening problem, Bug #64325) and firefox tab switching. And some other probably unrelated problems with lid-close and power ACPI events causing crashes.
