Hi Matt,

other KDE apps seem not to be effected. I type a "Z" and I get a "Z". But as
soon as I work with passwords in KDE it is getting weird.

Example:
I create a new user with KDE tools. I set the password to "zzz". When I login to
that user via ssh, the password is "zzz". But when I login to KDE (kdm), the
pasword is "yyy".
