I long ago tried all of that. Never was snap to grid
ever activated,
OK, that's gotta be an X.4 specific quirk then. Drat.
Also, X.3 has command-/ set up as being the
toggle to activate
the speakable items. If you're pressing that
combination inadvertently,
it could be activating speech.
A danger for a guy like me who uses lots of
reconfigured Quickeys... but no. It is off, off, off!
And the goodgie-McFlopper disk won't go away.
That's just plain irritating. Does it pop up from the moment of login,
or later?
