Unfortunately I don't use KDE, so I can't much help you there. When you
change sessions do you have an option to select 'Gnome sesson'?

Also:

1. Please bottom post (place your comments after the other comments).
2. What were you doing when you lost the ability to type?
3. Did you also try booting using the recovery mode?
4. What type of keyboard? PS/2, USB, Wireless, Other.
