Re: Disabling Print Screen key
Dear Luís,
I lost the beginning of this thread. :-( So, I may not know what you're

This is really weird, but I'm using a plain window manager here in my
system (not using "a heavier" Desktop Environment, as the resources here
lack the horsepower). :-/

Yes, I *think* that it would be problematic, especially regarding the
Magic Sysrq function of the kernel, which IMVHO, is essential as a
fallback to issues that may arise (especially when X stops responding).

Now, this is funny. I'm using similar things here (but in a different
architecture, powerpc), but again, without a DE (and, in particular,
KDE).
