Does anyone have advise about running emacs = inside vmware.
For one thing vmware treats ctl-alt special.
I have fixed this by changing the vmware hot key from shift-alt to ctl-shif= t-alt-win

I've turned off all short-cut keys I can find in KDE as well.

But there are other times when emacs simply gets so confused I have to kill= it and restart. =A0I suspect some of the key combinations have been interc= epted either by windows, wmware, or kde.

Any general advise from people who have tried to use this frustrating combi= nation would be greatly appreciated.

Jim
