This feature is called "dead keys" by the way. It's waiting to see
if you wanted the quote character to form a diacritic composite
character with the next key type (e.g. ` + u = ù).

You probably knew that, but if not, I'm hoping the keywords might help
you search the documentation.  For example, a google search
for '"dead keys" diacritic KDE' seems to turn up some relevant pages.

I believe I had to make changes in my XF86Config file to fix this
when I had the problem (but that was a couple of versions of X
back and I was using a plain window manager, not KDE, at the time).

HTH,
Terry
