It is KDE 3.5.5.  After install, I looked through all the control center
options, and I was impressed -- it's still a lot, but it seems much more
understandable than the last time I had a look, c. 3.2.x.

Heh, I did do that before settling on xbindkeys.  Opening a menu to
then launch apwal was too much clicking for me. ;)  When I am using the
mouse, my left hand is usually hanging out near the ctrl key anyway, so
binding to ctrl+rtclick is more comfortable than I though it would be.

Aha, thanks.  I think after a day of usage, I am now an apwal
evangelist, so that's good to know.  Thanks for all your help.
