If your system is being used only by you (and most desktops are in general), simply put those lines in /etc/X11/Xmodmap There they will not be ignored. That's what I do and everything works fine. Just in case, this is my Xmodmap: $> cat /etc/X11/Xmodmap clear Mod4 keycode 0x73 = Super_L keycode 0x74 = Super_R keycode 0x75 = Multi_key ! why caps-lock? give me ESC please: remove Lock = Caps_Lock keysym Caps_Lock = Escape add Lock = Caps_Lock And then I use Super_L for my Applications menu (gconf key mandatory to all so that Debian doesn't change them during upgrades, or Gnome); Super_R for "Run..." dialog, and that nifty key with a drop-down-menu figure for Multi_key (useful for other languages. and reminds me of Mac's Option+KEY way of accessing those extra characters). Hope this helps. ----)(----- Luis M System Administrator/Web Developer LatinoMixed.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] "We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on" -- Steve Jobs in an interview for MacWorld Magazine 2004-Feb http://www.latinomixed.com/
