Might be handy, but I'm used to the shift key anywho.

My sudo is pw-less, close enough for me.  That IIRC is an option in 
raspi-config. Piece of cake.

My instant show stopper is in (fresh git clone today) 
linuxcnc-dev/src: ./configure --with-realtime=uspace
[...]
checking for GTK 2.4.0 or above... no
configure: error: GTK2 missing.  Install it or specify --disable-gtk to 
skip the parts of LinuxCNC that depend on GTK

This is rasbian 10.1, so its got some wayland in it.  What do I do next?
