it may depend on the app. I have 1 system which only loads xawtv in the .xinitrc, no window manager and the keyboard works fine. usually without a window manager you need to make sure that the mouse is on the window your typing. Mozilla is a really complicated piece of software and may be looking to use a window manager. Try another browser like netscape 4 or opera and see if there is a difference. Or just use a simple windowmanager like blackbox ? nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
