[...administrivia...] Another one of *THOSE* mailing lists, that sends replies back to the sender instead of the list (sigh).

Thanks. That was the problem. I've installed bbkeys, and the defined keys do work. One more question; is there a way to have a key-combo bring up the control menu (equivalant to mouse button 3 on root window)? > Give us more details about your setup and we'll help you tweak > it.

Here's my ~/.xinitrc #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/bbkeys -i & /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm & /usr/bin/firefox & /usr/bin/gnome-panel & exec /usr/bin/blackbox > ~/.blackbox.log 2>&1 I'm in the middle of switching to a newer (1.8 ghz) linux machine. My philosophy is "I don't run desktops, I run applications". On my older 450 mhz PIII (128 megs ram), GNOME desktop runs^H^H^H^H crawls painfully slowly. What I did was *INSTALL* GNOME and KDE but run FVWM. This allowed me to run apps like Gnumeric, GIMP, AbiWord, gnome-panel, KMail, etc, without the resource-sucking bloat of the GNOME desktop. Things run reasonably fast. FVWM is getting too complex for my tastes, which is where Blackbox comes in. On the 1.8ghz machine I'm switching to CRUX linux ( http://crux.nu ). It's uptodate and optimized (*EVERYTHING* is compiled -O2 -march=i686). CRUX is actually quite simple, and init scripts are BSD-style. This is where I'm running Blackbox. Together, CRUX and Blackbox run *FAST*. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Email users are divided into two classes; 1) Those who have effective spam-blocking 2) Those who wish they did -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
