i do not like the idea, people that use X11 are used to have crtl-alt-bs. it is confusing not to have it. i do not see a real problem. if xorg is confused to an extend that c-a-b does not work anymore it is clear that the code may need some improvements. An other idea would to allow additional key combinations (mod+mouse) to behave like c-a-b. looks like a nice config option. re, wh _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
