No, US_EN + 'basic'.  I had turned on the Xkb stuffs too, but just now 
turned them off, with no apparent effect, I still have to hit the 
single-quote key followed by the spacebar to actually get a 
single-quote as shown around the word basic.  But I haven't restarted 
X either, which may be required for that to take effect.
