I've just figured out after a total of... oh, probably several whole minutes (though spread over a few days) why I couldn't get my winkeys to work right in SuSE 5.2 -- a line in the .xinitrc file was looking for a .Xmodmap file, and first for a /var/X11R6/lib/Xmodmap file. For some reason, the users had .Xmodmap files in their home directories. (Though, when I removed them, the problem didn't go away until I moved /var/X11R6/lib/Xmodmap, which is odd, since root was having no trouble with those keys.). My question is, what do you think, in the SuSE 5.2 distribution, would have done that? And not to root? Is this different in later versions? Cause it seems sorta like compiling xiafs into the kernel (which, by the way, SuSE (5.2, anyway), does...). Whatever did it shouldn't -- they should make users go a bit out of their way to get to this deprecated program. I can understand why it would be in the .xinitrc, but I think something having to do with SuSE, possibly the user creation util, put it there. Much worse than compiling xiafs into the kernel -- doing that is actually more along the lines of putting the xmodmap stuff into the .xinitrc -- it's there if you want to use it. I doubt it was just some rude program that did this. I think it was just some program that SuSE uses that they'd forgot to change.
