Hi Miles,
I was just thinking about the interaction between various parts of a
gnome enviroment:
console keyboard
\/
x window keyboard
\/
input methods
\/
gdm
\/
gnome libraries
\/
gnome app
you asert that its not xmodmap. doesnt happen on console. doesnt happen
on other apps that operate in the gnome enviroment. so what parts of the
sequence from keyboard to gnome app are missing? Is this a new starndard
for gnome?
cheers,
Kev
