Creating a new test user and logging in as that user, the key behaves just
fine.
By moving the ~/.kde folder to another location, logging out and back in the
problem persists.

All applications: kwrite, Kmail, oo, mozilla-firefox (with the CONTROL+t
combination to open new tab or CONTROL+w to close tab),...
I don't know if there is a specific command to test if all the appropriate
metapackages installed, but issuing a dpkg -l in some packages (kdebase,
kdenetwork, kdeaddons, etc.) I get for all the same version: 3.5.0-1.
