Can no longer type in GUI applications!!

[Brian Bober]

I am up to date on all packages on test2 until yesterday. I can no longer type
in most applications (such as openoffice, gedit, mozilla or terminal), but the
login screen still lets me type in it, along with password for root account
when using the applications that require root login such as user configuration.
The cursor blinks when I type. CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE works too.

What do I do?
