[LUNA] Question on Xmnodad, GNOME, and RHEL6

[Paul F. Pearson]

Yes, I explicitly did a 'sudo yum install dmenu'.

I'm supposing that Xinerama (or whatever is managing my dual-monitor setup) is catching the mod-p keybinding, but I don't know a good way to know that. 

Also (and I'll likely ask about this separately) when I use Windows Remote Desktop to connect, I get GNOME but no option to choose my window manager, and I'm apparently still getting Metacity. I'm digging into this a little now.
