Great fine and all that, just remember that all the people who have set up X apps (netscape!) for ALT-foo will loose with this change. I still belive the POLA should win and if you want meta on the left side, you have to move it there. I could easily be argued that an option to kbdcontrol which flips meta&alt around would be the best for all involved. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
