I forgot to mention in the OP that I am running XKeymacs Version 3.47. Xkeymacs is not active (disabled) when Emacs is active. After exiting XKeymacs completely everything works as expected and Emacs catches the Windows keypresses before they hit the system. So, presumably XKeymacs isn't completely disabling when it `deactivates' when i switch into Emacs :( On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 9:23 AM, Jason Rumney wrote: > Lennart Borgman wrote: >> >> On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 10:29 AM, Juanma Barranquero >> wrote: >> >>> >>> With w32-pass-[lr]window-to-system set to nil, pressing either Windows >>> key does not open the Start menu (while Emacs is the active app, of >>> course). >>> >> >> This is not guaranteed according to MS documentation. >> > > Do you have an example where it specifically mentions that it won't work, or > are you meaning the lack of Microsoft documentation regarding Windows key > handling means it might not be guaranteed? > > AFAIK, the current workaround was discovered by Andrew Innes after much > experimentation when the MS docs were found inadequate, and this is the > first bug report I have seen saying that it doesn't work for suppressing the > Start Menu as documented.
