Yes but the behavior is the same. Fvwm provides both virtural desktops which are larger than the current view port and virtual disjoint desktops that act as individual screens. > OT: > "Key Left A M Scroll -100 0" is not really a good idea > since netscape uses this and other apps might use it too. > Hmmm, learn something new every day. However, netscape is not behaving correctly then. I have my left alt key set to ALT_L and my left windows key set to META_L and netscape is using both of them as ALT. This is a bug if you ask me, META and ALT are two different modifiers and netscape should honor that. I will file a bug report if it is not already done. [checks netscape/communicator bugs] Nope, none have been filed. One is on its way now for communicator-smotif-47. -- Brian Servis -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mechanical Engineering | Never criticize anybody until you Purdue University | have walked a mile in their shoes, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | because by that time you will be a http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis | mile away and have their shoes.
