[e-users] Part of the broken themes?

All,I just updated from CVS today -- I waited until I saw the all clear on get-e.org. Those things that were known to not build indeed did not build.I am seeing some very strange behavior, though, when I switch themes. I am moving between the Default, Winter and Darkness themes. These three are

The first problem can be fixed two ways. Eterm is fairly old school. You make your selection, then use a middle click to paste. The second way would be to change the key mapping in your user.cfg file. I think using something like this in your action context: bind button3 copy(clipboard) will

e17 has become very unstable on my machine. Within a few seconds of starting up, I can reliably crash it. All I need to do is leave the focus on the engage bar at the bottom of my screen, wait a few seconds and then move the mouse. It would appear that I can crash e17 hard enough that I don't

For the longest time, I have been having a really odd problem with vmware. Every time I started a guest OS, I would lose portions of my keyboard as soon as vmware tools started running in the guest. When I say portions, I mean just certain keys -- like a, s, d but not q. It was particularly

It would seem that installing elementary requires elm_prefs_cc to be installed. The problem is that you need to install elementary to get elm_prefs_cc installed. I worked around this by changing elementary/src/Makefile so that the elm_prefs_cc parameter was a relative reference to

Do you have keybindings associated with the missing keys? I have this problem all the time when using vmware. Any key that I have bound to a shortcut simply stops working as soon as I type into a vm guest. The fix (for me) is pretty simple. I turn on the numlock and that seems to make everything

After you start the VM and give it focus, take the focus out and turn on your numlock. Fixes the problem every time for me. It works with cap locks too, Burr that is a bit more annoying. You should notice the keys that go missing are ones bound to short cuts. I've had this issue for a while, but
