I'm not sure whether it's a KDE or XOrg related problem or a problem of the X-Server... If I login directly, everything works fine.

Especially I miss the pipe symbol ('|'), but there are some more like '?', '@', '?'. I compiled KDE on my own computer running a FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE kernel. All packages are up to date. Any hints? If I use an SSH connection (PuTTY), everything is fine.

I had a similar problem with running virtualbox under Windows 7.  The
problem was caused by one of the Keyboard drivers that was installed
under Windows 7.  Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the
driver.

What keyboard drivers are installed on your Windows XP system?
