They aren't random.  Those the the access keys that allow you to quickly 
activate a UI element; they are oft ued by mobility-implaired computer 
users and are an accessibility feature, but as also the used by 
power-users as website-provided shortcuts.  On my system they don't show 
up until I hit Ctrl by itself; the same keystoke will dismiss them.

For more details about access keys (non-KDE specific):
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#adef-accesskey
http://www.cita.uiuc.edu/html-best-practices/standards/sect508.php -- 
under "Naviagation and Orientation"
Many other section 508 sites available; I don't know if accesskeys is a 
hard-requirement but it does seem generally to be part of satisfying 
section N.
