Hi Bill,
To get the Cut/Copy/Paste from the left keypad working you need to
apply the following patch :
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/jds/spec-files/trunk/patches/gtk+-04-sun-copy-paste-keybindings.diff
To get the front key working you need to bind the front key to
"Raise window if it's covered by another window......" Action in the
keyboard Shortcuts applets.
HTH,
Erwann
