Well, let me elaborate a little: 1) I personally don't care, since I remap the funny keys on the bottom row to suit my own strange tastes anyway; 2) I don't want to subject my users to shock and horror. 3) I don't want to deviate gratuitously from upstream practice. All this means is that 1) doesn't do anything to sway me between 2) and 3). I'd appreciate input from the people on this list as to the impact of XFree86 4.2 on 2) and 3). Are those goals truly in conflict? Is this only a problem for people with buggy window managers? How many Debian users use window managers that are buggy in this way? -- G.
