Now that I've read a little harder, I think that I've got it. On my keyboard, the print screen button is right next to the backspace button and, because I sometimes work with the lap top on my chest, it would be very easy to graze the print screen button looking for backspace. You also make more typos when the keyboard is at chin level.
But leave it to Chris to have the fix. I think that this is the last of my configuration issues with KDE, except for some self inflicted ones to come, I suspect. I'll know in a day or two of working, but I think that I understand and applied the fix.
