[3ddesktop-dev] Re: Keybindings and multiple instances

Brad,

I started 3ddesk from my keybinding and ran ipcs -q from an ssh term. I
saw 1 message queued. When I run it from command line and run ipcs -q,
there are 0 messages queued.

The keybinding is apparently irrelevant because I attempted to bind to F2
and got the same results.

And no, I'm not accidentally hitting my keybinding after activating
3ddesk. :-)
