I'm using Gnome but tried that and also tried a full reboot

the packages I listed and reinstalled them.
Last night I updated everything I could see that seemed related
to gnome, gtk, pygtk, Xorg, etc., on the theory that there was
perhaps some unrecognized dependency on a recent package but
it didn't help. (Unfortunately I can't keep everything up to
date over a 3KB/s modem connection that rarely runs unattended
for more than a couple hours.)
The only other thing I notice is when I run ibus-daemon from
a shell with "-v", I see lots of errors like the following that
appear when it's started:
(ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error:

They all have in common a message about not getting a value
from engine/anthy/shortcut/<something>. Perhaps these are
normal? If not, do they ring a bell with anyone?
I don't see any messages when I type the activate sequence
(alt-grave) in some window.
As a quick check....what I would do is to create a new user account and
see if things work for that new user. This will then tell you if it is
simply something that is related to your settings....
