It is a bogus bug report, and probably stems from a lack of understanding of exactly what hotkey does. In the first instance there should only ever be one copy of hotkey running. The code makes sure that this is the case. You don't run two dhcp servers, or two ftp servers etc. and you will find similar code in these programs as well. As it was designed the hotkey program should be started with the X server, and I have it started automatically by GDM at login. It probably should be restructured to run as a demon. In the second instance a lot of people have the mistaken belief that hotkey actually makes the changes to things like speaker volume, power-up mode etc. For the class of Toshiba laptop it was written what actually happens is that the Fn combinations make the changes regardless of whether hotkeys is running or not. What hotkey does is report those changes in a user friendly way in an manner identical to the old Toshiba MaxTime program. My understanding is that for more recent models the hotkey program itself needs to detect the key-presses and make the changes. JAB. -- Jonathan A.
