it displays '34'

what man under a VT on Konsole shows as:

Section "Device"

Konqueror shows as:

Section '34'Device'34'

No question, so I guess you're "sharing"? Interesting that '34' happens.
Why do you suppose it does? Is it desirable?

Seriously, check the character encoding. I use UTF-8 with my console.
it does same for you?

It does the same for me.

I'm not sure how konqueror parses the man pages, but that is where the
problem lies. You can see that by viewing the html source of the man
page.

I'm guessing they use a custom parser, because if you do a google
search for "man xorg.conf" yo will find many sites appear to have
handled the quotes incorrectly, though others drop the quotes.

The nature of the problem suggests it was a debugging hack that they
forgot to remove, and should be an easy fix. I just filed a bug
report: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154890
