Qole: what do you mean running gimp on "two desktops"?

And, thanks for the useful tip about using "xvkbd -text" to send individual keystrokes in combination with xbindkeys. It's a lot of machinery as opposed to using xmodmap, but when push comes to show, it will do! :-)

Edit: I tested "xvkbd -text" in Easy Debian and it works pretty much as it should... save for the problem that a bunch of warnings are output when testing in xterm -- which can be diverted with "2>/dev/null".

I compiled xvkbd for Maemo, but while it works for normal text, trying to send special chars such as in "\[ntilde]" or the equivalent "\[dead_tilde]n" do not work. Possibly, another bug with Fremantle's X11 Server?
