[Paraview] dead Keyboard in paraView

[Giovanni Pavolini]

Hi there!
I installed OpenFoam with ParaView 1.8 R5 in my Fedora
3 machine (kernel 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 with gnome). The
program runs well, except by the keyboard, which is
totally unresponsive in paraview (no key works: not
even bakcspace / delete keys; neither do short-cuts).

I followed the suggestion I received in the OpenFoam
forum about killing all processes related to language
input swithcing, to no avail. I also did my homework,
googling for "unresponsive keyboard" and implemented
some  tricks, but none of those work (it seems some
people with non-US keyboards have problems in Java). I
changed kbd_mode from -a to -u with the two other
options in between: nothing! I tryed with function
keys, dead keys and enabling/disabling the num, caps
ans scroll lock: nothing :(  (also changed keyboard
layouts, language, etc.)

I then downloaded 2.0 R3 and the problem is
consistently the same.

I can select, de-select with the mouse (I can paste
text by clicking with the center button), click on 
buttons, etc, OK.
I can input text in the "command" window in Paraview
(in both releases), but the rest of the text boxes are
just out of scope :(

Is there anything I can do to solve this, or any other
information that can be useful to track what's
happening??

I appreciate your help!

G.P.
