[3ddesktop-dev] Re: Keyboard Input

Cool. I'm at work right now, but when I get home tonight I'll give
it a spin. It's a bit too hard to duplicate on this box (although I
managed to yesterday again after about 150 tries ;).

I expect the binaries will probably work for me, since I got away with
the rpm's the first time around.

I think the utility I was remembering was "xev", but after looking at it
(really quickly) I'm not sure that it does what I was thinking it does.
I think it just watches a particular window for you.
