Hello Cookerite,

A trivia matter but rather nagging for me - under the past several versions 
of Mandrake (cannot remember since when but at least since 7.2) the Windows 
key can be used in itself but cannot be used like the Ctrl and Alt keys - I 
used to bind Win+R to 'run' under GNOME and this is not possible in Mandrake 
(never managed to get KDE to do that, bonus cookies for those who can solve 
that).

The files under /etc/X11/xkb seems to be pretty similar under Mandrake and 
Progeny (the only non-Mandrake distro I have installed at the moment).. so I 
am not sure what is going on.

IMHO this should be fixed so that in the future the Win key works as in other 
distros.

This tried using an international keyboard layout (pc105) on both my desktop 
keyboard (Dell-branded generic) and my laptop (Sony C1VE) using the GB 
keyboard layout.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Michel
