Hi All<br>
Well this is the killer.<br>
All MS will have to do is wait!<br>
Patents can and do tie a company up for years<br>
without any evidence of infringment ( now would MS do that?)<br>
It will give them more power and stop Open source in its tracks<br>
<br>
We must all make a lot of noise on this.<br>
Cheers<br>
Bob<br>

<pre wrap="">Ah. It looks like I'm missing something - I don't have a Multimedia Keys
menu item, and the Keyboard Shortcuts is purely GNOME controlling
(switching workspaces and things). (I'm running GNOME 2.4, btw.)
I guess I'll have to look for an extra package knocking around to add
the functionality. Ho hum!

<pre wrap="">I find acme works well (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://devin.com/acme/">http://devin.com/acme/</a>). After building and
installing, just run acme and right-click the icon in the Gnome panel and
choose Preference to configure your multimedia keys. To make it run
automatically each time you start Gnome, just add acme to your Startup
Programs in Sessions (under Preferences).

<pre wrap=""><!---->
Acme was integrated into the Keyboard Preferences in GNOME 2.6. If
you're still using 2.4, you'll need to install it separately. In 2.6,
you should be able to press a "multimedia" key when it prompts you for a
keypress. Of course, you're limited to the actions which the Keyboard
Preferences prsents you. I think Metacity has some facility for
associating arbitrary commands with keypresses, but I don't know whether
it supports "multimedia" keys nor whether there's an interface for it.
