Subject: fedora transition problems
I've got fedora up and running ok, the problems are with learning how to
accomplish things with new tools.

Problem: I want use Alt+x to open a command prompt. I can do this in
RH-8.0 because I use sawfish & gnome-2.0.

Gnome 2.4 uses metacity as the window manager. Changing to sawfish left
out way more functionality with gnome-2.4 than it did with gnome-2.0.
Not to mention it's near impossible to make this swap without using `rpm
-e --nodeps metacity`. I *really* don't like --nodeps.

Question: Is it possible to use Alt+x to open a terminal in either
metacity, gnome2.4 or kde-3.1.4? If so, how?

Question: Is it possible to create custom shortcuts, like I can do with
sawfish, in kde? I'd be willing to change window managers to accomplish
this.


It's also worth mentioning that fedora DOESN'T ship with Galeon, AND you
can't get it with rpm. I suppose that's more galeon's fault than
fedora's though. The galeon tarball might compile but I like package
managers.

Thx,
Bart
