For some reason, I think Compiz's "unredirect fullscreen" setting lets Compiz get keyboard combos even while using a fullscreen app. I don't have it installed here, so I can't try, but I think I could open an xterm while running Battle for Wesnoth. <div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 9, 2008 3:17 PM, Evan <<a href="mailto:eapache@gmail.com">eapache@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is the only keyboard control that x locks, and it kills x completely. There is no way to kill only the crashed full-screen app. Non-fullscreen apps can be killed with xkill or others, but when an app grabs the entire keyboard and crashes, it's Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or a hard power-off, both of which make you lose unsaved work in other open apps. Ideally, x would allow window managers to permagrab certain key combos regardless of who has the keyboard. This would allow people to kill apps that grab the whole keyboard without killing everything else. It would also allow media keys (volume, etc.) to work in fullscreen apps, as they currently don't. I definitely agree with the fact that their should be an ability to add custom keyboard shortcuts througFor h gnome keyboard gui. I'm using fluxbox-keys now, but I remember being annoyed by that when I was still using Gnome. </blockquote></div> -- Mackenzie Morgan Linux User #432169 ACM Member #3445683 <a href="http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com">http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com</a> <-my blog of Ubuntu stuff apt-get moo
