Does xbindkey execute the program when the key is released? It appears to me that the x locking programs don't like the fact that Ion may still have the keyboard grabbed (implicitly by X server) if the key has not been released before the program wants to grab the keyboard. Executing e.g. "xterm" from a ccroll lock binding works just fine (except for the annoying led). "Xlock" works half of the time (takes sometimes longer to load) while "xtrlock" is always too fast. A kludge around this problem is to write a short shell script that sleeps for, say, a second and then executes the locking program. (I might add a krelease action some time in the future; it shouldn't be too much extra code..) -- Tuomo
