Ahhh - I've just noticed another problem (but thought I'd send the 
message anyway!).
I 'think' you posted to sheflug, but when I click reply it's going to 
wylug-help-admin, Hmmm.
Rich (Ibb) and Nigel (Meth) is this something you'd like to chat 
about ???

You're probably using /etc/XF86Config, so this is used as the 
default.
If you have a file called XF86Config in a users home dir (normally 
/home/username) then it'll use that.
However, it could be that some users dirs have this file, and others 
don't. Which means that they'll load the default (/etc).

Sorry - No idea.

Ohhh - You're gonna start something here :-))
Personally, I prefer VIM - but then, that's just me...

I think my suggestions here will be invalid, so I'll shut up...

The nice thing about Windows is that it doesn't just crash.
It displays a dialogue box and lets you click OK first.
