Actually WindowMaker rootless is a problem on the iBook (and similar ones)
Function keys are bound to HW features (light/sound intensity). For F12 (eject CD) this can not be revoked (needed to open Applications window/palette.
The others may be freed using some control panel logged into OS9 <similar to: enable key mapping but turn off F1-F15 ? >). Is there a link which explains Fkeys in this and other contexts of X-Windows?.

e.g. Fkeys would also be needed for easy access to context sensitive Help in Gimp... (what else for?)
May I change F preferences?

Where do I find other F-key settings for wmaker? Are they changeable?
