I would start by checking some logs. /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/.xsession-errors dmesg any kde logs ?

the relevant part of pacman.log could be useful to see the exact list of updated packages.

Ok. the updated packages are everything kde, gdb, sip, pyqt (there's also a crash of printer-applet when starting kde, but it's not influencing the happy reset fest), module-init-tools, openal, sdparm, texlive-bin, and today kdebase-* and qt 4.5.3-2 ->4.5.3-3. Here's the message in .xsession-errors: Warning: Only changing the first 3 of 32 buttons. unable to find device touchscreen kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_klauncher.so kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kded4.so kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kbuildsycoca4.so kbuildsycoca4 running... kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kbuildsycoca4.so kbuildsycoca4 running... kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kconf_update.so kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kglobalaccel.so QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kwalletd.so The line "touchscreen" made me think about my touchscreen screen, but I unplugged its usb cable, and nothing changed. I'm running with no xorg.conf. Xorg.0.log says something about my WinTV's IR input device, even if I don't have such a IR device, being recognized as keyboard. So, I got off the wintv card, but nothing changed. Dmesg says this, at the very end:

mtrr is new, I think is something about the default drivers for the videocard. But the other trace is not a news, and never caused problems. Tried to swap keyboard, but to no avail. My other Ubuntu partition runs fine. In order to replicate the bug, it's enough to try to login in GMail. Pressing Enter = reset. Ciao!
