FWIW, I have the same sort of problems: Gnome keyboard handling seems to break differently with each release. I can't find _any_ way to make the current unstable version automatically install my preferred key remappings; previous Gnome versions at least allowed one to put a call to xmodmap in .gnomerc or .xsession, but that doesn't work anymore (other stuff in there is fine, so I guess gnome-session or somebody actively _resets_ keyboard mappings), and .Xmodmap is ignored. The `user friendly' stuff which is apparently supposed to replace xmodmap seems quite inadequate, but perhaps it's a documentation problem; can anybody give a recipe for doing _arbitrary_ key-remappings in current unstable Gnome? My current (annoying) work-around is just to invoke xmodmap by hand once I've logged it -- but for some reason I must invoke it _twice_ for it to really take! Hopefully it's not another case of the Gnome screw-anybody-but-grandma philosophy... -Miles -- Freedom's just another word, for nothing left to lose --Janis Joplin
