Thanks lucky,

I'm going to leave JWM for my wife and the Guest account but I'm going to switch back to Fluxbox until Joe decides to stop clobbering keys.  I can see the advantages of JWM for DSL in general; however, I navigate with the keyboard way too much to live without it behaving properly.

Like I wrote, it doesn't bother me on laptop or desktop. It's all  in the way you choose to configure it and/or your keymap. I'm sure you can find a key or two to rebind for HYPER and SUPER and save ctrl and alt for everything else. MyDSL also has utilities xbindkeys and xkeycaps. I should add another one to those.

Edit: I forgot these. JWM is able to do a lot of what these two utilities do (controlling windows via GROUP tags, keymapping, etc.).

SOLUTION: I got to play around with JWM a little more this evening. It's the nextstacked command that clobbers whatever key(s) are bound to it and not the use of root menu keybindings. I changed alt-tab to "next" (which pages through windows in sequential order rather than between previous and current windows and then sequentially if continued) and now I have full use of alt- commands in all apps. JWM isn't evil, but nextstacked is.

EDIT: Ahhhhh... total keyboard control in JWM. This is perfect. I may not go back to ratpoison.

Thanks lucky,

I've been using JWM with your 'next' fix for the whole day and I think it solves the problem for me.

Thanks for the update and sharing. I will make adjustment to iso.
