After upgrade to ubuntu 13.10 keyboard input not working

Question

I just upgraded ubuntu to 13.10 but the keyboard input works fine only until I open whatever program is not part of Unity. ( No problems on the unity menu or at login )

Everything works fine under the "Flashback" ( no unity ) session.

Launch dconf editor
Open Desktop -> ibus -> and click on General
Now check the box next to use-global-engine and use-system-keyboard-layout

Let me know if this works!

I don't know the details of your problem but I just solved a 13.10 upgrade related keyboard issue by looking at this post:

Keyboard not working 100% after Ubuntu 13.10 upgrade

In this case the keyboard worked fine before login and in excel under wine but not in anything else.

This question also had a solution for a keyboard problem but it probably different than yours:

Why did 13.10 break my custom keyboard layout?
