Thanks Giuliano. This is what I had thought but wasn't sure.

I hesitate to remove it completely because it seems to be tied into
multiple keyboards which I do use. I will search for its initialization
and disable it because, on my system at least, it is a real pain.

I'm also a bit nonplussed that (K)Ubuntu put this on my system at all,
and I wonder if they are going down the (Micros*ft) road to locking down
the user.?!
