Good call! After searching blindly for a while, it turned out that Kmilo, the KDE special key notifier was running. Unselecting the check box in the KDE control center->KDE components->Service Manager got rid of the annoying window. Now I need to figure out how to configure it properly for the 8600 extra keys. A quick google search has turned out a total lack of documention on kmilo. Thanks for replying! A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
