After a bit of poking around, I've discovered that the error only occurs if I define one or more short cuts using xbindkeys that use the same keys as the short cuts in cwm do. I guess this behaviour should be expected, even though I was confused about cwm's error message. I had this short cut for starting firefox in .xbindkeysrc: "firefox" control + alt + q After replacing q with b (b for browser ;-)), xbindkeys and cwm are friends again. Jan: You ask how I start xbindkeys -- if you still want to know, my .xinitrc is attached inline in my original mail. Martin
