That's correct.  Didn't want to say right, too confusing!

I can hit the quote keys ten times and still produce no input at all
when running OOo.  With other applications (such as Thunderbird) it
works perfectly well.  That's what is so strange, it's only OOo which
shows the anomalous behaviour, only under KDE, not under IceWM.
