Well, that's completely bizarre. I'm not having this problem, and neither is anyone else I know or have heard of. Can you reproduce this problem in a bare-bones X environment? E.g., # startx $(which x-terminal-emulator) -- :1 (If no X server is running at DISPLAY=:0, you can leave off the "-- :1" part). This will launch the X server running a lone terminal client with no window manager. Try to reproduce the behavior from there. -- G.

Bug#277740: Sarge - random insert of letter 'q' while running XFree86/Gnome 2/Sawfish
Package: XFree86 Version: 4.3.0.1 (Debian 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 20040928112350) kernel: 2.4.27-1-386 #1 Fri Sep 3 06:24:46 last update - today, 9PM. Since a recent update of Sarge (from a few days ago) I have observed that the letter 'q' is randomly inserted into the text when I am typing within XFree86. It does not happen in console mode. It is not restricted to any one application. I have attempted to adjust keyboard settings to make it stop. Accessibility features are disabled. Certain keystroke combinations (like typing the word 'back' very quickly) can make it happen almost repeatedly, though the insert position of the 'q' seems to vary. Again, this does NOT happen in console mode, only while running XFree86. I have reproduced this problem typing within the 'URL' window in Firefox, while typing commands in xterm, and while typing text in xchat.
