I've had this problem in both gnome and kde after suspending the laptop. 
  It only happens once out of five plus times, so I can't figure out 
why.  I've also had occasional suspend problems with thunderbird's 
webmail extension not resuming.  I fixed this by disabling it and 
installing freepops for webmail.  It seems to resume ok.  I've also had 
occasional suspend problems where the pc reboots rather than resume.  I 
don't know how to troubleshoot and file bugs on these because they're 
not reproducible.

Anyway, if you are using a laptop and suspending, it could contribute to 
the keyboard problem.  The only fix I find is to log out/in, as you did.
