I'm using Slackware 10.0 with KDE 3.2.3 on a Compaq Presario 17XL360 notebook. The problem is that it is impossible to use quote (') and dblquote (") characters while typing in any kind of application in KDE, including terminal window. So when I type, in Kate for instance,
printf("hello\n");
all I get
printf(hello\n);
While working in textmode (w/o KDE) quotes and dblquotes may be typed in without any problems.
I still have the possibility to type "-character in Kate if it is followed by space.
In Kdevelop, CForge and any other KDE application that I try, there is no other way to get it typed except for putting it by copy/paste.
Unpredictable behavior!
I had the same problem when I added my Russian layout. The problem was in US layout. I just set it as EN_iso9995-3 and all works just fine. Look: "''"''''""""''

When I type in russian and press the button with (") I get russian letter as it should be.
May someone tell me what am I doing wrong, please?
Andruha, I don't know the first thing about computers or Linux, but I noitced your name. Is this your first or last name? The reason I ask, is my family is originally from Odessa, and I share the same alst name as you. I am curious if we are somehow related (or if this is a common name out there). CAn you send me an email at dimitri.andruha@gmail.com so that we can continue this conversation there?
