13 Further update: I am trying with xmodmap, but it seems it works in some
14 cases and others not (notably GTK applications ignore it, while KDE apps
15 use it).
16
17 I've put xmodmap lines in my .xsession, kdm config, and I have identical
18 xmodmap both in my home and in /etc/X11, to no avail.
19
20 Even if I run
21
22 xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmap
23
24 from a terminal and then I start some gtk app, this ignores the xmodmap.
25
26 Any hint?
27 Thanks and (I forgot) hope you had a merry Christmas!
