I'm using Gnome 2.6 on Slackware 10.1 on a Packard Bell iGo-4451 laptop. To get either a " or a ' I need to press the key twice. Even then, when I'm writing code in (say) Python, the interpreter doesn't see " as an ASCII double-quote, but some bizarre unicode character, and hence won't understand statements containing a " . it's the same for the ' character.
