--- Comment #6 from Roman romatherussian@gmail.com 2008-09-22 09:53:57 --- I don't know how the events work, per se, but I can make it say "Hello World" in a popup box, it would not be relavant. The problem, which seems to be a GNOME problem in general. GNOME gives you option to that allows you to easily locate the mouse pointer by pressing CTRL, which shows a small animation around the cursor. This will interfere with ANY program in which CTRL is a key used for key listeners or keyboard events.
