AFAIUI (read: not at all) you need to start that gnome-settings-daemon in your .xsession *and* you have to use gnome-keybinding-properties (named to be very easy to find... grmpf!) to set *something* to "emacs". I thought I had found the correct gconf key (/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme), but it didn't work until I used the afore mentioned program to make the changes. *sigh* Now it works for me. Read /usr/share/doc/libgtk2.0-0/README.Debian Key binding =========== gnome-settings-daemon overrides gtk-key-theme-name in your gtkrc. so if you use GNOME 2, it won't work, and it's not a bug. Please use gnome-keybinding-properties instead of gtk-key-theme-name in your gtkrc. (says he...) Now, if *you* can tell *me* why Epiphay won't let me edit keyboard shortcuts according to: gtk-can-change-accels = 1 (and the seemingly corresponding gconf key, can_change_accels) In fact Epiphay seems to ignore all those things with detachable menus and the like... which gnumeric seems to obey. But gnumeric doesn't let me edit the accels either. And gvim (of all things!) seems to obey them, but it at least has the decency to complain when I try to change the accels the "GTK+ way". Marcelo
