See the list of known issues at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq222.html#q4 as well as the new HAL FAQ at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html . Additionally, you might be hitting the X-pauses-with-moused problem discussed on freebsd-x11@. >=20 > My usb memory stick to automount would not automagically mount, even > though I'm in the operator group.

Read the new HAL FAQ mentioned above. >=20 > On my keyboard the key just to the left of my left pinky is labeled > 'caps lock' and functions as a caps lock. I'd rather have it be a > control key.

Try creating a new user, and see if the problem occurs for them. If so, I'd file a GNOME bug (if one doesn't already exist). If not, you may have to go into gconf-editor, and unset a lot of the keyboard keys to get things working again.
