It is a long search that i wish not to start, can you imagine how many

This depends on your use of X_GrabKey, if you give it the a special
window (the root one iirc) it will grab on any of them, but you can
use it for window specific operations also.> Some more googling reveals that the call is documented as XGrabKey > (without the underscore) at [0].

I've been browsing about that, but it is a *lot* of work, ( in fact, as I understood, you only can re-implement the main X-error-handler, and it is the only way because X_GrabKey always returns 1 ) and user should read the doc before complaining anyways =) > [0] http://www.x.org/X11R6.8.2/doc/XGrabKey.3.html Thanks for your interest in this package, Regards, -- Niv Altivanik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian::GNU/Linux::Addict, Wannabe Debian Developper, please test my packages: http://cxhome.ath.cx/debian
