But gconf-editor doesn't update the keyboard map.

Keymap settings is one area where I don't see the point in having separate .rc.mine configs, since either you're going to use those keys or not. The specific keybinding_commands on a per-user basis, certainly, but not the keycodes and aliases. >> # xmms-toggle-mute.sh > ~/bin/mute-toggle: > #!/bin/bash > > NEW=$(aumix -vq|perl -pe 's/^\D+(\d+).+/\1/;') Ah, the wonders of Perl ;-) >> # xmms-toggle-play.sh > > XMMS can already do this itself (xmms --play-pause).

I guess sooner or later we're all going to be using the "birds", but until they've matured a bit more, I'll stick with the main moz branch. >> I assume there are ways of getting all this to work under different >> window managers, YMMV. > > Yeah, metacity makes it difficult by requiring you use gconf-editor, KDE > makes this kind of stuff fairly straightforward. I usually run *box for (very occasional) root logins. Fluxbox was a bit late for the FC1 release, but I got OpenBox which seems nearly identical. I'm wondering how I'd get this stuff working on OpenBox? Hmmm, time to RTFM, I guess. - Keith
