> Are you sure you didn't mean to use PointerKey instead? I did not know about PointerKey, and from the man page it looks like it would be a reasonable solution. However, it doesn't quite seem to be working. I did FvwmCommand "PointerKey n D N Exec exec gnome-terminal" and I seem to properly get a gnome-terminal when I press "n" with my cursor over the desktop. But if I then try to type "n" into firefox, nothing happens. And yet more bizarrely, if I type "n" into a gnome-terminal it does get passed through. I have fvwm version 2.5.24 on my machine.
The other problem that PointerKey doesn't solve, is I had my setup configured, pre trying out gnome, to get a menu when clicking on the root window. Now I seem to need to click once on the desktop to focus it, and then once more to get my menu. Thanks, Emilie
