My "L3" binding stopped working when typed in non Open Windows applications when I started using Open Windows 2.0 programs. The (new) "L4" binding works just fine! > Any ideas? > > -Henning I assume that the window manager has done a grab on those keys and that applicaiton programs should not be able to affect such a grab but it looks like this is what is happening. "L3" typed in the root window or in an O-W application works fine (executes the twm binding), but elsewhere it looks like the binding has vanished. -- Alain Brossard, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, SIC/SII, EL-Ecublens, CH-1015 Lausanne, Suisse brossard@sasun1.epfl.ch
