I have this too and it doesn't accept any key anymore. Not even C-A-B works, 
only killall kwin from another computer.

And I (and many others I talked to) have still this problem I showed you in 
Kopenhagen, where the mouse focus stays in the wrong window or is unavailable 
at all. An alt-tab fixes this most of the times - so the alt-tab freeze makes 
this even more problematic ;(
