Unfortunately, on this computer, if I have X started, whatever I type in my console affects the X session. So, as I type this message in the console using mutt, it is also appearing in a leafpad window in X. Also, when I press keys like alt+left arrow to go back in firefox, or alt+f2 which I have bound to a run dialog, it switches to the console. When I switch back to X, in the case of the alt+F2 shortcut, the run dialog is opened.
That sounds vaguely like your X session has gotten stuck in raw mode. You might try running the following from an xterm: sudo kbd_mode -s -C /dev/tty$(sudo fgconsole) ~Celti
