Hi Jon,

That was the clue I needed.  Thanks!

Here are the relevant lines from my */var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log*:

[494293.296] (--) Windows keyboard layout: "00020409" (00020409) "United
States-International", type 7
[494293.296] (--) Found matching XKB configuration "English
(USA,International)"
[494293.296] (--) Model = "pc105" Layout = "us_intl" Variant = "none"
Options = "none"
[494293.296] Rules = "base" Model = "pc105" Layout = "us_intl" Variant =
"none" Options = "none"

I'm not sure why the X server starts with *Layout = "us_intl"*, because if
I look in *Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Language* it says the
language is *English (United States)*.

However, I found that if I enter the command "*setxkbmap us*" in an xterm
window it solves the problem (i.e., single quote and double quote
characters are no longer dead keys).

I'm still not sure how best to configure it so that the X server starts
with "us" instead of "us_intl" automatically, but that's a minor issue in
any case -- entering the "setxkbmap us" command is easy enough.
(I can probably put the "setxkbmap us" command in ".bash_profile", if I
don't find a more appropriate place.)

Best Regards,
--- Matt
