Thanks for pointing this out, like I mentioned in my previous response I use fluxbox. If I launch the gnome-keyboard-properties in fluxbox the settings are different from the ones I wrote earlier: the keyboard layout is set to "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC)" but no layout options were selected. So I added "Press Right Alt-key to choose 3rd level" (from the third level choosers options) and I get the desired behaviour. In gnome I changed the keyboard layout to pc105 although this didn't seem to affect things much, I also added the "Press Right Alt-key to choose 3rd level" layout option and removed the "Meta is mapped to the Win-keys" option. Afterwards the behaviour is as expected. Unfortunately in fluxbox after logging out and logging back in the settings are no longer in effect. I have to launch the gnome-keyboard-properties window again (though all values are saved) and close it again. I compared the output of "pstree" and "ps aux" before and after starting gnome-keyboard-properties and noticed that the following processes are started after launching gnome-keyboard-properties: /usr/lib/gconf2/gconfd-2 13 /usr/lib/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-server --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=17 /usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon --oaf-iod-fd=21 In my .xinitrc on my desktop (which was originally created by SuSE) there's a bit of code that looks like it may be usefull here: #load this to have gtk2 apps look ok GSDPID=`pidof gnome-settings-daemon` if [ "x$GSDPID" == "x" ]; then gnome-settings-daemon & fi I suppose I can add this to my .xsession but testing this mannually shows that the processess are started but not with the right options: gnome-settings-daemon [no options because I specified none] /usr/lib/gconf2/gconfd-2 13 /usr/lib/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-server --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=20 [20 in stead of 17] Furthermore xscreensaver is also started and I get several errors/warnings: (gnome-settings-daemon:6308): Glib-Object-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GstOssMixerTrack' to `GstElement' (gnome-settings-daemon:6308): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: file gstelement.c: line 2726 (gst_element_set_state): assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failed (gnome-settings-daemon:6308): Glib-Object-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GstOssMixerTrack' to `GstElement' Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [repeated several times] I assume the last one is caused by xscreensaver because I also get it when I launch xscreensaver-demo to kill the xscreensaver daemon. Can anybody tell me if I should or should not add the code or something like it to my ~/.xsession?
