Thanks.  I will probably copy the icons over manually. . .for my home 
remote workstation. . .the others here won't be using it (currently 
using replimenu).

I read about that utility and wondered if you were running it.  Is there 
a way to make it configurable from the conf files. . .I need it to be 
off only for our notebooks. . .since having numlock on activates the 
numpad overlay and keeps the letters like jkl, etc from working when 
they are typing their password at the first screen.  I will edit that 
file for now.

I think yenta_socket is one of the most common, but it looks from the 
build.conf that there are several others that are comparible.  All 3 of 
the models I have tested on have yenta.  The critical thing is that ds 
has to be loaded after those types of modules.  I added it into the 
config and using 2.1rc2 right now.  I started having some rdesktop_cvs 
sound issues after I got it working. . .but I am suspecting it is from 
either mplayer, firefox, links, blackbox since I added those to the mix 
recently.

Thanks for the hint about where to look for that numlock command.  I 
will attempt to continue to find a way to map the right-alt now. . .
