[gentoo-user] xhkeys outliving its welcome

[Jorge Almeida]

Please, please help me to get rid of xhkeys!

I made the bad decision of trying xhkeys. I added only one shortcut to
the default config file (as normal user): Ctrl+Shift+n --> /usr/kde/3.4/bin/konsole

It works, sort of... Now I want to get rid of that shortcut. Too late, I found that
the documentation doesn't tell how to cancel the effects of xhkeys. I
assumed it was a daemon, but I guess it just loads something
somewhere...
I killed the xhkeys process. I unmerged the package. I killed the X server. Still Ctrl+Shift+n
launches konsole.

I can't guess what file in ~ keeps the unwanted commands... Not
.Xresources, not .xsession, not .xinitrc...

Normal shortcuts are under Control Center -> Regional & Acces... -> 
Keyboard Shortcuts -> Command Shortcuts.

Yes, you didn't use that, but maybe KDE read your config file and 
incorporated the setting.  If so, then find Konsole there and 
select None.

There is a Ctrl+Shift+n  setting in (Konsole)Settings-->Configure
Shortcuts-->New Session. The simplest explanation is that I put it there
a long time ago and forgot it (I really never use NewSession), and it
was a coincidence that I chose the same keys for a test shortcut. 
Or maybe it was as you suggest.
A pity that the documentation doesn't really explain what is essential.
I guess I'll try xbindkeys...
Thanks,

Jorge
