no problem gene, life is to short etc etc. However, what I am talking 
about is not the X-login client KDM or GDM, but the terminal client you 
are using. When you fire up a terminal to do some command line stuff, 
then you should see a menu and one of the menu options should be to 
alter the properties or profile for using the terminal. Thats where you 
will find the option to override the stealing of F-keys (like F10). 
Switch that off and you are in business.

Guus.
