Check to make sure that the keyboard accessibility features are
disabled, and check your keyboard layout.  If that doesn't yield any
results, try updating libgnome and gnomevfs2.  If it still doesn't work,
verify that GNOME is okay by creating a dummy user, and see if the
keyboard works for them.  If so, clear out your keyboard gconf settings,
and try your account again.
