Somehow I occasionally manage to turn my number pad into a mouse by accidentally hitting the magic combo. I can then never remember how to switch it back to being a number pad.
To make the combo easier to find in the future I'm putting it here:
Ctrl-Shift-NumlockNow I've just got to figure out how I manage to hit that combination of keys by accident!


I know how you feel!
I sometimes run Beryl on my desktop and manage to produce amazing visual effects but I never know how!
That's an X thing, not a Linux thing, I believe.
Michele: Google it :)
Keith: You are correct, part of the xcursor layer to be exact.
