Yes, that is correct, menu entries for KDE have accelerator to make them 
easier to use to the end user, you should not expect the text you enter is the 
same you will get, as Michael says you can use 
KLocale::removeAcceleratorMarker to get a string without accelators, if you 
REALLY don't want your widget do be autoaccelerated, use 
KAcceleratorManager::setNoAccel
