It has nothing to do with Emacs: it is done with xmodmap, so it is an X binding not an Emacs binding. This is something I defined years ago (globally, so for normal user and root user) and always worked. I did not change anything in .xnodmap or in .emacs. So this should not be happening, but it is. -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof
