Well, my first e-mail to this list was in reply to an
'Anarky' post... Are you telepatic, Dave? 'Cause I
did feel better on the list after seeing someone here
looking as newbie as myself... Guess I made some kind
of link with Anarky there... lol

Mandrake 9.1 (isn't that on my signature? I thought I
put it there.

Thanks for the infos Wojciech :) Pretty clear...
So, what I did was follow both Dave's and Wojciech's
advices: I edited /etc/X11/wmsession.d/05blackbox and
added the line:
exec /usr/local/bin/bbkeys -t &
between:
SCRIPT:
and:
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/startblackbox
Worked fine!
PS: Maybe you had some reason to answering directly to
me, but I thought the infos you guys provided, as well
as my confirmation they were right, might be useful to
someone else on the list... So I'm posting this to
the list.
