On that or to > the Backspace problem? I've got the XKeysymDB file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11... Turns out that the paste crash problem really is the same as the SunOS problem - Netscape 1.0N was statically linked against X11R5, so if you are running X11R6, then you need to have an "nls" directory, or the bug in the R5 Xlib will rear its ugly head. Hopefully I'll be able to link against R6 for 1.1N, and this will no longer be a problem. The Backspace problem is because the default setup is for both the Backspace and Delete keys to generate the same keysym, Delete. The root problem here is that the Motif spec says that Backspace is supposed to delete the previous character, and Delete is supposed to delete the next character. Linux and/or XFree86 come configured with both the backspace and delete keys generating Delete, instead of the more convenient-to-type key on the main keypad generating Backspace and the other key (if it exists) generating Delete. This should be fixed in the default Linux/XFree86 configuration, or all Motif applications running on this system will, by default, malfunction in this way. I'm not sure who to complain to about this, but hopefully they are reading this, and will tell us that it's fixed in the next version :-) You can fix it yourself by using xkeycaps, xmodmap, or loadkeys to make the key in question generate Backspace instead of Delete. -- Jamie Zawinski j...@mcom.com http://home.mcom.com/people/jwz/ ``A unix signature isn't a return address, it's the ASCII equivalent of a black velvet clown painting.
