Actually it's a feature :) these symbols may appear above characters in foreign languages, so if you press any of them and input an "o" character for example, you'll get an õ or ö. I hope this helps :)

They are "blind" characters. they are there, but you won't see them.

At least, this is how it was explained to me a while ago.

Dead characters to be precise :)

Anyway you can add them to the xterm bar... search for gconftool on the forum and you should find the info.
