I have large experience on the server side but kinda new to the desktop. Here are some minor annoyances i'm not being able to solve: 1. I've added a 'paw' menu to access the main menu, but I'd like the win-key to open this menu. possible? 2. Is there any app like in KDE to update the gnome (2.6.1) menus to reflect changes in installed applications? 3. Annoyances with enemy territory: - The game console isn't bound to \. I have to open it with ~, and the leading \ won't appear. This makes me send lots of commands to general chat instead of issuing them, have to remember this all the time. I did a bind \ toggleconsole, while it will bring console with \ then, it won't make it vanish. My only clue was it could be a keyboard config error, so I configured it (using gnome), layout portuguese keyboard, microsoft natural. it should be working. Also on xchat and such, if I use any letter with an accent people will see it as a '?'. How do I fix this behavior ? - Im getting some delay switching weapons and shooting. I press mouse1 and about 0.5sec later the weapon will shoot. This should be instantaneous. I don't have any idea on this one, solutions ? - CAPS LOCK key won't work ingame. Works fine on gnome. I need the caps lock key on enemy territory. Thanks all in advance! --
