Its been awhile since I've even seen xkeycaps, did it get removed from mandrake? But from memory, xkeycaps is something completely different. If I recall, its a tool for mapping lower level keycodes to X level keycodes, allowing one to do things like switch the ctrl and caplocks keys. xbindkeys is like hotkeys, khotkeys, lineak, in that it is a daemon which has a configuration list of X level keycodes, and a shell command line per keycode. Then, whenever one of those keys gets hit, corresponding command line gets executed. -dmc
