Bug Description
My machine is Dell Inspiron 9400, with Nvidia's binary (OGL accelerated) drivers.
$ konsole
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
Major opcode: 147
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
Major opcode: 147

Failed to open device
WORKAROUND:
1) Backup your configuration: open a terminal and write:
sudo cp -a /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/
2) Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf : open a terminal and write:
kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3) Comment out problematic entries. Replace:
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
with :
# InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
# InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
# InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
4) Save the file and restart the computer.
5) If you encounter any problems (the graphical interface does not load) just restore the backup with:
sudo cp -a /etc/X11/
and restart the computer.

This bug makes kfmclient much less useful compared to what it could be.
Please feel free to ask for more details about my environment if such information is needed. The system is a newly installed up-to-date Kubuntu.
