[SLUG] XF86Calculator
My beef with GNOME is that more and more users are treated as idiots, don't touch the buttons! I'm trying to find WHERE the mapping from XF86Calculator (that key, on my keyboard) is mapped to gcalctool. Serious perusal of gconf-edit settings reveals: /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/calculator showing XF86Calculator bind'd to calculator and /schemas/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/calculator showing calculator bind'd to schema nothing else. I'm aware of the xmodkey bit, but that is not being done. Where is it done? Compiled in? Everything *works* I just do not want *that* calculator and cannot find where the mapping takes place. If anyone can help - many thanks James PS replacing gconftool binary with free42 binary works, but boy is *that* a dreadful hack! -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] XF86Calculator
I don't use GNOME, so I may be wildly off here, but can't you change the part where XF86Calculator is bound to calculator without needing to know where the actual mapping to gcalctool takes place?

RSVP via http://anyvite.com/4pawejcxu8 6:15: Arrive and enjoy munchies provided by Google Australia 6:30: Five minute lightning talks (open to all) 6:45 Main Talk - python meets log 8:00 Social networking and beers and dinner at the Harlequin Inn. Python meets log High-quality logging is essential for problem-diagnosis and ongoing support of all but the smallest applications. Python has a solution built right in: the Python logging module is a powerful and highly customisable component - and with that power comes some complexity and gotchas. Julian Orbach will cover a broad range of concepts related to the logging module, to help first-timers, dabblers and experienced users get the most out of their own code. Further Details: We will also have slots for 5 minute lightning talks. If you think its interesting and you're a pythonista then chances are we will to. Put together a few slides and bring it along. *RSVP: Please RSVP on Anyvite to get your name on the door* RSVP via RSVP via http://anyvite.com/4pawejcxu8 Getting There: It's a 10min walk from Town Hall station over the pyrmont bridge (directions http://tinyurl.com/nedz98) or catch the light rail to the casino station.

Re: [SLUG] XF86Calculator
Have you tried Xfce? I've been using it for a few months now, and GNOME seems kind of bloated by comparison. If you're getting frustrated with GNOME, it might be worth checking out. For instance, the key bindings are in Applications - Settings - Keyboard, where one might expect them to be.
