This is a truly weird one.
Installation is Mandriva 2008 One with KDE. Whenever the lower case d is pressed, the system instantly logs off the user and starts a new session. What on earth can be going on? Upper case D does not do it. Changing the keyboard makes no difference. Restarting makes no difference. We have done nothing I can think of to set this (and I would not know in any case where to set it).
Anyone heard of anything like this ever?
I've a feeling the solution to this and other problems is going to be Debian sooner rather than later.... But I'd really like to know how to figure out what on earth could be causing it.

The system isn't seeing 'd' as CTRL/D is it? That logs you off a terminal session.

That would be my guess too, try hitting the ctrl key a couple of times, maybe it's got jammed.

It could be a KDE thing. Check the file ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and look for the settings for "Log Out" and "Log Out Without Confirmation". It's possible that one of those may be set to 'd'.
Have you tried a different window manager/desktop environment?
