Re: adding a custom shortcut key

On systems like Mandrake, you can't use Wprefs.app to edit your menu, as 
it is a system-wide menu written in old style. You then have to add your 
own shortcut apps to the menu; for example, I have the following:

"Keyboards" MENU
     "Ireland" SHORTCUT Shift+Meta+1 EXEC setxkbmap ie &
     "Russian" SHORTCUT Shift+Meta+2 EXEC setxkbmap ru &
     "Portuguese" SHORTCUT Shift+Meta+3 EXEC setxkbmap pt &
"Keyboards" END

Since the system-wide menu includes the file 
~/GNUStep/Library/WindowMaker/user.menu, you can just place this code in 
that file.

Hope this helps
