[desktop-discuss] OT: Gnome and the Sun Type 7 Keyboard

[Darren Kenny]

As you say, some of them should work, e.g. Front should being windows to the
front, but unfortunately not al keys easily map to GNOME - but that doesn't
exclude you from assigning some function to the keys using GNOME Keybindings
Properties.

Please log a bug if you think that something isn't working as you'd expect.
