Hi,

In Metacity, I used to have disabled the option to repeat a key after some time of pressing (i.e., you press 'e' for some time and get 'eeeeeeeeeeeee'). How can I do that when using xmonad? Should (can) I do that using X itself? Is there a "xmonad way" of doing that sort of things?

Look at "xset".

I'm not sure where is my xmonad beeing started from. I installed a package in my distribution (Ubuntu) and when I log I can choose between gnome and xmonad, and I let xmonad as default. I do not have .xinitrc and could not find (using 'grep') any file in my home dir containing 'xmonad'. Best, Maurício Matthias a écrit :

As that's just a system command, I would put it into your X startup file (.xinitrc on my system, from what you start your xmonad). Me feeling is that would be cleaner. :)
