14 Thanks for your help Jerônimo.

16 I tried your tip, using all sorts of keyboard layouts (Generic 101 / 104
17 / 105 key, Logitech Cordless + Cordless Pro), US English, with or
18 without international variant/dead characters, but no joy so far.

20 The quote and double quote keys still work only with the AltGr key pressed.
21
22 With some of the above combinations the AltGr key completely stopped
23 working. I couldn't even get an ¤ sign with AltGr-5, let alone quotes
24 or accented characters!
25
26 What seems odd is that OpenOffice is the only application affected,
27 while all other applications work correctly under KDE.
28
29 So I'm still stuck with this irritating problem...
