Hi, the problem is caused by sawfish window manager. It has arrow keys shortcuts, e.g Shift-Alt-Right_Arrow etc. to navigate between descktops These key bindings performed on each top level window at its creation time. So, if user's program has calls TGFrame::BindKey(arrow_key, any_modifier) that conflicts with sawfish shortcuts. There are two solutions: 1. disable/remove sawfish shortcuts which are using arrow keys. Can be done via control panel or by editting ~/.sawfish/custom 2. use TGFrame::BindKey(arrow_key, 0) /no modifier instead of TGFrame::BindKey(arrow_key, any_modifier) Regards.
