Yes.  It started on Day 1 of KDE 4.2 on either machine.

No.  openSUSE 11.1 is my work laptop.  Debian Lenny is my home desktop.

I'm not at the Debian system, but it should be using Xorg from Lenny and Qt 
from Squeeze.  The keyboard is old, but it is not the same keyboard I use on 
my laptop.

On the laptop I'm using xorg-x11-server-7.4-17.4.1 and libqt4-4.4.3-13.2.  
The keyboard is built into the laptop, and a bit newer than the one on my 
desktop.

Assuming my memory of the Debian system is correct:  That's Xorg 7.3 on 
Debian and Xorg 7.4 on openSUSE; no match.  That's Qt 4.4 on openSUSE and Qt 
4.5 on Debian; no match.

I'm thinking it must be some hidden configuration issue.  I'll try creating 
a new user and seeing if the behavior persists.  I will report back.
