These also get lost whenever I change the keyboard language (I routinely switch between three of these). I have found that I regain them if I re-run the command : xmodmap .xmodmaprc The documentation suggests that you should not have to add the ".xmodmaprc" filename - this should be the default file that xmodmap runs on, but in my hands it only works if I specify the filename. So now whenever I switch keyboard language, I re-run the above command and regain my shortcuts. Bogus ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
