After a week of frustrating nightly recompilations with emerge -e
failing at various points (gcc-43 not supported for *stable*
packages?! o.O [1]) and futile downgrade-attempts not changing the
situation, I've finally figured out the culprit for the keyboard
trouble: acpid. I had mistakenly added it to default runlevel. (IIRC,
due to something hinting to do it with the latest xorg-server.)

Anyway, after dropping acpid the keyboard is back again, functioning
as expected, ctrl+c copying stuff, cursor keys working (I even lost
them at some point), etc. (Not to forget some keyboard related conf
settings that appeared in /etc/hal/fdi during the emerge -e kde-meta.)

That should teach me to remember *all* the changes I do, not just
suspect the unstable packages. :)
