I'm with you Captain, I can already smell the napalm burning...

I tried to fight that fight with a cordless Logitech iTouch,
X11, xterm and xmodmap and gave up in disgust at some point
last week.

The _really freaky thing_ is that when I type 8 bit chars
on my Swedish qwerty keyboard _in some windows_ I see
Cyrillic.  I can read it, but it doesn't make matters
any better.

I won't even touch KDE.  If I want a window [xterm] I use 'x':

    x [ hostname ]

Actually I'd like to build jammers for these horrible cordless
things :)
