With the darcs version?

Yes, I just pulled again, and my working copy didn't change.

Not sure if that is a useful command to show you what I have. I don't know anything about distributed VC systems.

Two possibilities come to mind:

* its the focus stealing issue fixed in the darcs branch a couple of weeks ago

Not likely, given that (I think) my copy is up to date w.r.t. the public tree.

...

* openoffice is stealing those key bindings -- use a different mod key

This is the first time I hear that an app can steal key bindings from the WM. Normally, the WM should intercept the key bindings first.

Could you put in a bug report on the tracker, with details on how to reproduce? That'll mean we're sure to look at it then. -- Don
