KDE -- randomly stopped accepting ctrl, alt and super keys?

Good evening,

So... My KDE instance stopped accepting special keys out of the blue this afternoon. No signs of an error, and GNOME and XFCE still accept them under the same Xorg config.... Checked the shortcut configuration and all seems well. Plus, even default options such as ctrl+f2 for moving to workspace 2 aren't working. Terminator still accepts all special keys inside of KDE as well... So it seems like whatever accepts/intercepts key events for KDE keyboard shortcuts is non-functional.

Any checks i could possibly do to move this further toward a solution?

Thanks,

usagi
