If you set gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs" in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 then CTRL/U
works as Delete Line almost universally.  It's "Delete from cursor to
start of line" which very often means Delete Line as the cursor is
most often at the end anyway.  So, IMHO, it's handier than Home then
CTRL/K.

However, Digikam seems to ignore ~/.gtkrc-2.0 though Home + CTRL/K
does work in Digikam which is something I suppose.  There isn't a
default Delete to Start of Line is there, that's what I want.  Where
is CTRL/K set up?  Presumably it's configured somewhere such that most
programs use it.
