If I may also comment, this "feature" activates (on my system anyway) if XINE is playing while Konqueror is open. After some 15 seconds, up pop all the little shortcut-letters. This is especially annoying if I'm typing in a form, because the active keys take precedence and the next letter I hit activates the link rather than continuing the word I was typing.
Maybe that is triggered by the "screensaver wakeup" (fake key press events) which xine sends in regular intervals to keep the screensaver from starting. These can be disabled in xine's "Settings > Setup > gui" menu. That is probably the safest option if you want to use other programs while xine plays something. Regards, Florian
