[gentoo-user] xbindkeys and kde-3.3.2

[Harry Putnam]

Group,
I use xbindkeys to associate keyboard keys with programs.  Most of
them work as expected but a few don't.

I wondered if there is debug output going somewhere when an xbindkey
combo is used and the program can't or won't start.

Running KDE-3.3.2  where might I find any output from xbindkeys?

Ansering my own question for the benefit of anyone who searchs for
xbindkeys here.

Xbindkeys can be run in -v verbose mode which will output all its
actions to the terminal where X was started.  Press C-Alt-F1 to view
it and C-A-F7 to get back to X.

Why are you using some external program when there is a superb support for 
keybindnings in kwin?
Everything you need for keybindings is avalible in kcontrol :)

It is a superior setup.  It can be hand edited in minutes.  Mass
entries of 20 to 30 keycombos can be setup in a matter of a minute or
two.   No wasted clickity clack baloney.   And it is dead simple.

Further it is portable to any of the more common linux desktops.

All and all it would be a hard one to beat.
