Splendid! Many thanks - I've tried this and will let you know how I get on.

It's still missing the odd keystroke even under Metacity, though.
Definitely much worse than 8.x was. (In the last 2 lines, I lost about
a dozen keystrokes. Only app running is Firefox, system load is just a
few %.)

A friend tells me there are kernel issues on some notebooks with 9.04
- anyone read of this?
