BINGO!!! I believe you (and Keith who got me thinking about daemons) have finally solved this longstanding problem. Actually, I had not found the preference so I removed the at-spi package altogether. Now that I have found the preference, I may try reinstalling the package but disabling the feature, which is what you were suggesting. I wanted to make sure there was no way that daemon would run. So now we have a new question: What exactly does the "assistive technologies" daemon do, and why does is it so poisonous to pan? I guess that was 2 questions. I know that the reason I had this was so that I could run GOK (GNOME On-screen Keyboard) which I was only using so I could see foreign keyboard layouts, which can now be done in other ways. When I removed at-spi, it forced removal of GOK. Maybe when this is on, the event loop has to check constantly to see whether one of the virtual keys has been pressed and if so, generate a keypress event. Anyway, I really think there's hope now that someone will come up with a full explanation. -- David _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
