Summary: W98 - need my ctrl-enter back.  please!

Initial Comment:
Folks,

I don't know to whom this kind of request can be
assigned.  I'm stumped, though, and I'm just getting
more frustrated with the change to deny us an explicit
CRTL-Enter option for sending messages.  I'm constantly
sending people messages like 

            ation will definitely help us here.

because 
1) a new window grabbed focus, and
2) <enter> sent the message

when I thought I was still typing in moz mail.

The first problem is unfixable, just yet, but that
crtl-enter thing is crucial to have back so it's like
mail, icq, skype and every other comms app I have --
also so it screens messages like the above!  ;-)

I'm almost okay with gaim being the only comms app that
no longer offers this feature explicitly.  I know it's
a simple fix to an RC somewhere:  I've been told how to
do as much on WinXP, and I understand that win98se is
not intentionally supported so I'm generally outta
luck.  I really should switch to a better desktop, but
I can't get everything on linux yet and refuse to pay
for windows because it's Just So Bad.

So I'm stuck on 98 today and hoping someone has figured
this thing out and documented it in a very clear manner
which even *I* can follow -- something like the faq but
which includes the correct file name and the right
key-name would be awesome.

I don't offhand know where the default .gtkrc-2.0 file
location is on win98.
You can, however, create a "gtkrc-2.0" file in your .gaim
directory (wherever that is on win98) containing whatever
stuff you want to override.

I went to http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq2.php#q19,
originally, and even got to
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gtkrc-2.0 from there. 
Unfortunately, as I mentioned, I'm stuck on w98 and
 - while the <ctrl>Return key-combo can be figured
 - I can't see the proper location or name for the gtkrc.
And that's the big issue:  I'll put any snippet of code
anywhere directed, but I need to have that direction.  I've
tried every location I can think of, and I can't but think
that it's goo bad Gaim's the only one no longer offering
regular people this kind of config explicitly.
