I prefer to leave raw function keys to low-level functions -- menus, etc. Actually, binding man or info to <F1> might be fun....<alt>-<F#> I somewhat bind to the CUA settings -- <alt>-<F4> kills a window, ferexample.

Well, one reason is that if I try to install wmakerconf, apt tries to uninstall wmaker. A config tool without what it configures sorta sucks. This under Woody. What's wmakerconf do that WPrefs doesn't? I have checked both from time to time (/me goes and fires up wmakerconf from desktop, which is running Sid). OK, wmakerconf buys you the option to specify titlebar fonts and apparently a tie-in to some themes websites. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same stuff. One thing WMPrefs *is* is a NeXT-like GNUStep application, using the GNUStep toolkit. There's not a lot of these apps, the somewhat broken filesystem browser fsviewer is one of them. In the case of WMPrefs v. wmakerconf, I find WMPref's interface cleaner. Cheers. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
