[Bug 378553] [NEW] ~/.Xmodmap special key bindings aren't working in GNOME

2009-05-19 Thread Alexander Darovsky
Public bug reported:

Before Ubuntu Jaunty, due to strange keyboard design, I used custom
keycode bindings for Power, Sleep and Wake buttons to control my media
player. But after upgrade I cannot apply custom ~/.Xmodmap anymore.

I have made some investigation, and I have found, that if I run X server
without Gnome, xev gives correct results. But if GNOME is running, only
bindings for non-special keys are working.

Here is an example:

$ cat ~/.Xmodmap 
keycode 124 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 150 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 151 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 49 = XF86AudioPrev

The last keycode is added for testing purposes, and, if I press tilde
key, I get the following output from xev:

KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x421,
root 0x13c, subw 0x0, time 21799, (463,-217), root:(470,598),
state 0x0, keycode 49 (keysym 0x1008ff16, XF86AudioPrev), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x421,
root 0x13c, subw 0x0, time 217000156, (463,-217), root:(470,598),
state 0x0, keycode 49 (keysym 0x1008ff16, XF86AudioPrev), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
XFilterEvent returns: False

But if I press 'Power' button (keycode 124) I get

FocusOut event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x421,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusOut event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x421,
mode NotifyWhileGrabbed, detail NotifyNonlinear

PropertyNotify event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x421,
atom 0x16e (_NET_WM_ICON_GEOMETRY), time 217086342, state PropertyNewValue

and gnome power manager window pops up. That means, that the first line
of ~/.Xmodmap was ignored.

If I run xev in the separate X server without GNOME, I have expected
behavior: XF86AudioPrev keysym is generated.

[Bug 372621] [NEW] drag'n'drop blocks application switch

2009-05-06 Thread Alexander Darovsky
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

When I start draggind some item, I cannot use alt+tab to switch to the
target window to drop that item. This works in KDE, Windows and MacOS X.
It would be nice if Compiz WM behave the same.

[Bug 217550] Re: Receive kio_media_mounthelper error when removing usb device

2008-04-29 Thread Alexander Darovsky
This is a bug. There are several ways to workaround it:

The first is set plugdev group to removable disks instead of disk:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4195064.html?sid=813dffeae093c39fde2ad38c21d4af12#4195064

The second is to patch /usr/bin/kdeeject to be able to eject items via
HAL command (see attached file and link)
http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=144017action=view

The third is to add users that were in plugdev group to disk group
also, so they still have rights to eject removable devices

** Attachment added: A patch to kdeeject from gentoo forum with the same issue

[Bug 85610] Re: XTerm and RXVT crashes on startup.

2007-04-11 Thread Alexander Darovsky
This happens in any application which calls XOpenIM() function.
It tries to open /usr/share/X11/locale/YourLocale/Compose in
infinite recursion. Copying /usr/share/X11/locale/YourLocale
from old distro solved the problem.
