Thanks for the info. Actually I've just noticed that I already have the Front and Open keys listed in the 2008.11 UI spec anyway, so while the fix may never reach S10 x86, we do at least have it written down that they ought to work in Nevada and OpenSolaris :) I forget off-hand if we ever had Cut, Copy, Paste and Undo keys working in JDS-- I think we actually did (or maybe that was just in GNOME 2.0), but IIRC it required a per-app patch. I don't think we could justify doing it that way for OpenSolaris, but if anyone knows a better way it could be done, feel free to file a bug. When we thought about it for JDS, we decided that none of the other special function keys really mapped too well on to any standard function that GNOME provides, so we didn't do anything with those at all. Again, if anyone has any better ideas, defect.opensolaris.org is your friend...
