showkey (not showkeys, oops) is a program that examines the keycodes
or scancodes that result when you press any key. It runs in the console
and won't work properly if an X server has the console.
xbindkeys is a very useful little X program that allows you to bind any
key or key combination or mouse button press to any action.
groups.google comp.os.linux.x for keyword "xbindkeys" for details.
There's a GUI frontend called gtk-xbindkeys.

I can't fix this. Have you reported it to the KDE bug tracker? There
are a bunch of people who switch between different keyboard layouts
frequently; maybe this feature was designed for them. As a 'Murrican, I
stick with "generic 104-key" and let the furriners deal with sïllÿ vówél
mårks as best they can. (Multi_key is absolutely essential for doing
anything with characters that aren't on a US keyboard, of course, but
it's not that difficult to pick it up.)
