Well, I finally resorted to KDM. On boot the user is auto logged in to WindowMaker. I've mapped special keys on the keyboard using /etc/X11/Xmodmap e.g: I have a key named close on the keyboard and it is mapped to F20. and in WindowMaker's menu I've attached ALT-F20 to the command "sudo halt". The problem is that on 1st login (the auto login) the keys are not mapped. only after I logout and login again using a password, the keys are mapped correctly, as if KDM isn't using Xmodmap on autologin. Any ideas ? Thanks -- Meir Kriheli
