Maybe that is triggered by the screensaver wakeup (fake key press events) which xine sends in regular intervals to keep the screensaver from starting. These can be disabled in xine's Settings Setup gui menu. That is probably the safest option if you want to use other programs while xine plays something.

I really think there needs to be an option somewhere in the GUI to turn this off. I can't find it in the GUI either, but apparently, from what has been said here today, there is already code to read the configuration file and act on some secret setting. If it's there (and I haven't actually looked for it) then adding a way to control it via the configuration page would be a trivial hack, and a great opportunity for some whining user to step up and join the ranks of helpful open source contributors by sending them a patch to address this complaint.

konqueror alphabets all over the place
In konqueror, if I hold the control key for a long time there are alphabets displayed all over the webpage. The letters are displayed in square yellow boxes. What are these alphabets? Are they useful in any way or is it a bug?

Uh, so that you can use the keyboard instead of the mouse? If you are browsing a site, and you want to enter a link, you simply press ctrl, and the link gets a letter, you press the letter, and there you go. It's not a bug.
