11 Thanks for the versions. Seeing that, I wasn't surprised when I
12 demonstrated the kernel (2.6.7, here) wasn't the problem (see my other
13 reply).

15 You may be right in that they have the same root cause. However, there's
16 really nothing else to change to, since all the inet keyboards seem to
17 have the same code/symbol definition for the key, and changing to another
18 would break more keys even if it fixed the one (because the others are NOT
19 standardized). I DID check KDE's settings, however, to be sure it was set
20 as it should be, and it was.
