All of these problems mention Opera. They also mention the bbkeys key bindings. You guys wouldn't happen to be using the windows key (the one between Ctrl and Alt on newer keyboards) as the modifier to change workspaces, would you? Opera is written to catch that windows key and it opens a menu (try hitting the windows key, letting go, and hitting down... it should bring up one of the opera menus). That can screw around with a lot of stuff (Opera, that is). Also it could be the bbkeys no-focus bug... where if no windows are focused then bbkeys doesn't catch any keypresses. Then just moving the mouse over the bbpager (that's what I do) or changing workspaces so that something gets focus will correct that. Jason
