Re: [Lxde-list] what do I have to do to get the keyboard sticky?

My original reply was only meant as a side note, and definitely not to
hijack this thread...

Rune, I was NOT referring to any kind of X configuration which may be
accomplished properly. I was, instead, describing how to control (or
launch) X programs from outside the X session -- be it from a separate
console login, from a cron job, from a daemon, or from anywhere else.
It can be a useful and proper trick, and it's a nice feature of
Unix/X. As Linux is becoming more and more packaged in standard-sized
boxes and wrapped in shiny colored paper, it's good to be aware that
one still CAN do this kind of stuff (which doesn't necessarily mean
one SHOULD do it).

If you're arguing that advanced information should only be provided to
the "undiscerning masses" with proper context, I see no danger of that
-- this thread already contains the proper solution.

Phew... </rant>. Other than that, of course I agree with you (and
Stephan) -- use the best, most reliable and simplest tool for the job.


Best,
Dan
