Thank you for your help, Anne.

KDE calls them "Access Keys."  They're those boxes that pop up over links in 
Konqueror if you hit the Ctrl key so you can navigate through web pages 
without using the mouse.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_keys explains how access keys work and 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124218 lists some of the people who abhor 
them.  Basically, if you're like me and use keyboard shortcuts such as ctrl+x, 
ctrl+a, ctrl+s when you type in web pages, then you've invariably 'clicked' on 
links you didn't mean to, sent unfinished webmails, or lost a form you were 
filling out.

With thanks
