That sounds like a keyboard layout with "dead keys". Does the same happen if you press the tilde (~)?Quoted

If I start KDE (using startx )after having logged on as root my keyboard works fine.
If I start KDE after having logged on as a normal user the double quotes key and the single quotes key (or the apostrophe key) don't work properly. I have noticed that single quotes followed by spacebar or double quotes followed by spacebar produces the correct character.

The file for Slackware is /etc/X11/xorg.conf but changing this file makes no difference.
I would appreciate any other ideas.
Thanks

What do you get if you try the following command on the command line?
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout en_US -variant basic
(That's what the KDE control center tries to execute on my machine to switch the layout to English/American without dead keys. Maybe you're missing that command?)
