KDE Right Control key sending Ctrl and then linefeed in terminal/xterm
 

Does anyone else suffer this ailment?

In KDE, my right ctrl key is sending ctrl AND THEN a linefeed. It is REALLY annoying.

It's a PS/2 Dell keyboard and I use a Dell USB mouse. This doesn't happen at the console.



bill$ xmodmap
xmodmap:* up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift****** Shift_L (0x32),* Shift_R (0x3e)
lock******* Caps_Lock (0x42)
control**** Control_L (0x25),* Control_R (0x69)


mod1******* Alt_L (0x40),* Alt_R (0x6c),* Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2******* Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3*****
mod4******* Super_L (0x85),* Super_R (0x86),* Super_L (0xce),* Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5******* ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),* Mode_switch (0xcb)


My /etc/conf.d/keymaps just has
KEYMAP="us"
SET_WINDOWKEYS="yes"

and that's it. My keyboard layout is for a generic 104-key keyboard. I use a USA layout and a Greece polytonic layout which yields this in the KDE keyboard layout screen:



setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us,gr -variant ,polytonic

Also, it doesn't repeat.

Wow, it gets even more weird. I just ran "startkde" from xinit and with EVERY keystroke I see "kglobalaccel" spewing out EVERY


*"GlobalShortcutsRegistry::registerKey: Registering key "blah blah blah" for "KDEappgoeshere" : "Shortcut name"

and then unregistering the whole set again. I can kill kglobalaccel and it stops the printout, but I still get the weird linefeed when I use the right control key in a terminal.
