The problem ended up to be one of the input methods associated with
ibus.  I removed ibus and all of its input methods including the m17n
pieces.  I reinstalled only the ones I really need and all is well.  I
suppose I need to be a good citizen and reinstall the other one at a
time to see if I can recreate the problem.  But, that will have to wait
till the weekend.
