Quite right.  Thanks much, Howie.

Good.

Hint: they aren't.  The McGill distribution has some 2.0 support in it,
but it is probably not as good as what Howie has on cunixf, at present,
so get his, not mine, for now.  Once this slab I have in my office gets
access to some disk space, I'll clean things up and wrap it all up into
a neat package with a nice bow on top :-)

Any idea how to find out what sort of keyboard is in use?  It's just a
matter of xmodmap to fix this, but it *should* be dealt with
automatically - and if I can sense the keyboard type, it will be.
