Thank you all for your advice, which has taught me a lot. But I'm ashamed to admit that I found the cause of my problem - after going back to basics and re-discovering xev and showkey - lay in a dirty AltGr key on my Thinkpad T60, which only responded when struck hard in the top right-hand corner. If it had been any other key (except perhaps for the 2 Windows keys) I would have noticed; but I don't think I have ever pressed AltGr except when trying to print the € symbol. I trust I have managed to cure the fault after lifting the key and applying compressed air and contact cleaner. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
