    Kubuntu 5.10 keyboard freeze during logout

    I've installed KU 5.10 on an Athlon XP 2400+
    kernel K7 2.6.12.9 and from today (yesterday there wasn't this problem) when I logoff an user and back to the user list (I've switched off theme to have user lists) keyboard doesn't work at all.

    I've to reboot.

    Any ideas?
    Thanx

    EDIT:
    Today I've installed Lame and an ogg library, can be the problem?

    I've seen that the keyboard isn't freeze at all:
    the fact is typing the password when the keyboard is freezed the password is written in the text-mode tty1 at the login place, this is a security hole, in fact the password is visible to everyone, and a simple program can grab it, isn't?

    So I've seen that pressing ctrl-alt-F8 and then ctrl-alt-F7 it back to the user list with the correct keyboard that write to the graphical password place.
