Sweet. Worked like a charm. There is something oddly satisfying about using the Windows Key to bring up a linux command line. The next step will be to work this into my kickstart routine so that all workstations I deploy will enjoy this hotkey combo (which I think I can handle...) Thanks a million. R.

Any suggestions? > Robert, The following commands will configure Metacity to recognize the "Windows key" (mod4) + "T" and tell it to open gnome-terminal: gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_2 \ -t string "gnome-terminal" gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_2 \ -t string "<mod4>t" The first command says what to run, the second assigns the keystrokes. You just have to run these once as the user you wish to configure. You'll notice "command_2" in each of the instructions above. You can configure 12 different commands for Metacity in this way (_1 through _12) but _1 is preconfigured on RH9. Alternatively, you can use"gconf-editor" instead of the command line version above. It is very similar to the MS Windows registry editor.
