Good thought but the only thing activated there was "Activation
Gestures". I don't think it's related to my problem as the problem
persist even when i log out of KDE. When i cant use ctrl+alt+Fx to
switch VC the "switch  user" function or using KDM to "log in to a
console" and i also had some problems when i started up in "rescue
mode".

To me it looks to be something more then KDE/X and that rules out that
I did some bad configuration in KDE and it started sometime around the
kernel upgrade, but I cant be sure.

Thanks anyway
