I've always been able to fix the X server when this occured by switching
back and forth when the mouse-cursor is *within* an xterm-window.

Further it seems the wedged keyboard is more likely to occur when
you use the ALT-F-VT-switching and the mouse-cursor is *outside* an
xterm-window (though I've not been able to reproduce it 100%, there
seems something more to be involved).
