In the Window manager, I would have thought.

So, you mean to say , that every keyboard hit is monitored by the Window manager ?
or am i missing something ?
My understanding is that , the device driver which would have claimed the interrupt line,
would give the data to the Process in the read call, currently executing ,
so how does this
data go to the Window Manager , i think that's what i'am missing !
One more question in my mind , Can a Process ever get these keys or are they just
absorbed only by the Window Manager and never propogated to the Processes?
Please , can someone throw some more light !
Thank you.
Cheers.
