I have now tried all three of my systems running a Gnome desktop and it now seems to be working on all of them. It want away when I updated ports on Monday. I suspect, but can't confirm, that libxlavier was the culprit. Out of curiosity, Mike, did you have any special keyboard mapping stuff in you Gnome configuration? I use "Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl" and I suspect that this may be what is different about my configurations. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
