Benno -- I'm using Enlightenment. I had this same problem on a fresh system which was installed from the 2006.1 CD. At the time I assumed it was a problem with the whole thing since I had problems with 2006.0 as well. I went back to install from a 2005.0 CD (which is what I use to have on this computer and it worked fine) then upgraded all my packages and the problem was there again. I have KDE installed, but seldom actually use KDE, I just like many of their applications. Very odd stuff.

David; I'm having the exact same problems on one of my computers since I upgraded to the latest X. I simply haven't gotten around to doing much trouble shooting since I don't use that system very often. Thanks for posting your solution, I'm gonna try this out later.

I did modify it in an attempt to solve the problem, but the problem showed up without me making any such modifications that I'm aware of. Was this problem since your inception to Gentoo? No, I've been running Gentoo on this system for 2 3/4 years. I've been using these keystrokes for over a year. I upgraded to X11 7.x a few months ago. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
