Thanks for your help Jerônimo. I tried your tip, using all sorts of keyboard layouts (Generic 101 / 104 / 105 key, Logitech Cordless + Cordless Pro), US English, with or without international variant/dead characters, but no joy so far. The quote and double quote keys still work only with the AltGr key pressed. With some of the above combinations the AltGr key completely stopped working. I couldn't even get an € sign with AltGr-5, let alone quotes or accented characters! What seems odd is that OpenOffice is the only application affected, while all other applications work correctly under KDE. So I'm still stuck with this irritating problem...
