Hi,
I keep getting random letters in square boxes at random positions on my
konqueror screen.

They aren't random. Those the the access keys that allow you to quickly activate a UI element; they are oft ued by mobility-implaired computer users and are an accessibility feature, but as also the used by power-users as website-provided shortcuts. On my system they don't show up until I hit Ctrl by itself; the same keystoke will dismiss them.

For more details about access keys (non-KDE specific):
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#adef-accesskey
http://www.cita.uiuc.edu/html-best-practices/standards/sect508.php -- under "Naviagation and Orientation" Many other section 508 sites available; I don't know if accesskeys is a hard-requirement but it does seem generally to be part of satisfying section N.

I just wished there was a way to tun the whole thing off...
(even at build time if necessary)
