Good call! After searching blindly for a while, it turned out that
Kmilo, the KDE special key notifier was running. Unselecting the
check box in the KDE control center->KDE components->Service Manager
got rid of the annoying window. Now I need to figure out how to
configure it properly for the 8600 extra keys. A quick google search
has turned out a total lack of documention on kmilo.
Thanks for replying!
