Package: xbindkeys Version: 1.7.1-1 Severity: wishlist I installed the xbindkeys package to control the volume keys on my laptop. Once installed however, I realised that every user must now set up their account to run xbindkeys when they log in.
It would be nice if the xbindkeys package could (if configured) automatically run every time a (any user) user logs in to X. I have attached a file to do this (/etc/X11/Xsession.d/55xbinkeys), briefly it says: If xbindkeys is configured for this user ($HOME/.xbindkeysrc file exists) OR if xbindkeys is configured for this system (/etc/xbindkeysrc exists) then run xbindkeys -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages xbindkeys depends on: ii guile-1.6-libs 1.6.7-1.1 Main Guile libraries ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System protocol client li ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System client libraries m xbindkeys recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
