It's bad enough most of the keys on the far left of my Sun keyboard don't work 
under OpenSolaris to begin with. There really should be better customizations 
for Gnome. A "Sun" mode with all the key-bindings we're use to would be nice. 
And yes, some of us still like to use the copy/paste/cut keys on our keyboard 
while typing. It surprises me that more people have not complained about such 
issues with Gnome and OpenSolaris. Also, I don't like the behavior where "man" 
will return the screen to what it was before running.. making it harder to do 
cut-n-paste or scroll up to re-read a section. That is a major PITA too.

Agreed.  One of the reasons why I still use dtterm is because it handles
pg up/pg down in a manner that I deem to be "correct" (i.e., it scrolls
the terminal window).  Contrary to what some people think, customisation
is not evil!
