Re: [BLUG] keyboard confusion

I'm not sure about QuickSynergy, but synergy doesn't give you a lot of
options other than how to connect your systems together. I use a gnome
desktop as the synergy server and I don't have any problems with keys
not working. At least I haven't noticed anything. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
doesn't get transmitted to other machines, but that's understandable.
I think you might want to try another machine as your server and see if
you have the same issues.

I have had issues with cut and paste working between machines and
certain applications like Thunderbird. For some reason, if I copy on
one machine then try to paste into thunderbird on another, it doesn't
take, but if I paste it into something like an editor on that other
machine, then copy it and paste it into thunderbird, then it works.
