Derrik, in a recent message to this list (I've been searching the
archives) you wrote:
-----
Is "dev.mac_hid.keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes = 1" in your
/etc/sysctl.conf? Or, if not, is there a "use_linux_keycodes:" line in
your /etc/molrc? I've found that you're best off to have
keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes set to 0, and the "use_linux_keycodes:"
line in /etc/molrc set to "no". If these aren't in sync, weird key
mappings (like what you're seeing) will result.

When I alter the line you mention in sysctl.conf and change the
setting to "0", then the same problem that afflicts me in MOL happens
in Gnome general! I have to drop out to console and change the
setting back.
This is driving me batty.
