Comment:

 I had the sticky alt key.  I was able to reset by pressing right alt on a
 USB keyboard.  Pressing alt on olpc keyboard would stick it again.  After
 reading the adventures here, I grabbed the rubber cap over the alt key and
 pulled up.  This has fixed the issue for the time being.

 Note: I don't see a problem with periodic "maintenance" of the keyboard if
 it is effective and easy to do, and can be done in the target
 environments.  I'm not sure opening the keyboard in a dusty environment is
 good, but pulling up on a key cap is ok.
