It may very well be a program grabbing the keypresses.  I've had this happen 
in KDE with both juk and amarok.  Right clicking on their systray icon will 
normally send whatever keys you've pressed, else clicking the kmenu->run 
command and choosing a previously typed (since you can't type now) command 
'killall amarokapp; amarok' works.

If you can click on the widgets without anything happening, this this probably 
wont work for you, but its worth a shot.
