It is important to understand that this affects *all* applications that use GTK2. The basic impact is that where ^x used to directly call an action, now if the focus is in an input field it will intercept most ^x keystrokes (and interpret them as editing commands). This shouldn't break any applications, but it is a change in behavior. People running lots of GTK2 apps, maybe a GNOME desktop, should check whether they are comfortable with this--assuming they didn't already set this behavior in ~/.gtkrc-2.0. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
