I had played around with xbindkeys several weeks back...
And had disabled it from autostarting... then, today, I did a mass-enabling of everything in the autostart directory... without remembering that it was one of the items.
Was just trying to do some housecleaning... LOL
@jrg, do you know how to remove a question, once asked?
I am using Gnome3/Gnome Shell/Ubuntu 11.10. Today, when I began using my machine, it would not co-operate with me. Trying to type simple documents, my SHIFT-p was captured -- and spawned an xterm window!
I have no idea how I may have caused this anomaly. But I searched the various locations t...

@marcoceppi I'm sorry I flagged a post for being a dupe, but it's not. the question I flagged is about hardware in a computer talking to each other and not software talking.. Sorry again.

@OctavianDamiean I might have to consider that book (I'm considering getting a Python book over the holidays because I'm tired of getting older copies at the library and having to worry about late fees)
I've always been curious about Python, especially since as I understand it a lot of Ubuntu applications are written in it
So far from what I've been doing with it, I wrote a simple chess club ranking application in it for my mom to use (she's a coach), and I'm thinking of transferring my artificial life hobby project over to pygame
The latter is currently based on Game Maker, which is pretty much one of the only reasons I still keep Windows around on my laptop (the other being audio file conversion)

I've a notebook with a SD card reader and I was wondering if the GNU/Linux driver is using the SPI protocol or the proprietary SD protocol (one or four bits).

when trying to mount to a nfs network drive do I need to investigate/edit the /etc/exports file on my machine or the network server to get the share to work?
How do I make Skype use the default Ubuntu notify-osd to display notifications (incoming messages, users connecting, etc.) instead of the Skype's own "ugly" message box?
There is a tool called Skype-wrapper that uses native notification system of Ubuntu.
To install Skype-wrapper, enter the following commands in a terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:skype-wrapper/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype-wrapper python-skype

@JorgeCastro if you got a few minutes can you provide a quick answer to my post describing how I would do this? (or at least point me where I would find the information)
@jrg, thanks dude! worked like a charm (after I corrected that copy error - and oddly enough I had to clear my cache to view some CDN files - like AU images / css )
Also, does that mean the one next year for 13.04 will be in Florida again, or will it be outside the US? I'm asking because I can't really get to a UDS outside the US easily without one of my parents coming with me, which isn't always an option.
