Keyboard mapping help

[Zakalwe]

Hi all.

Apologies first as I am a windows person through and through - I have tried Linux several times in my life but always get stuck!

My company has recently bought some Dell thin clients that come with SUSE Linux Enterprise Thin Client 10 Service Pack 2.

We only use these to communicate with Windows terminal servers via the RDP client built in - it mostly works fine except...

When the user tries to alt-tab through open windows he gets the terminal server alt-tab box but over the top of that gets the Linux alt-tab box with just one active window - the TS session - how can I avoid this as the Windows one does not actually switch between the open windows?

Similarly pressing the Windows key brings up both the TS start menu and the SUSE one.

I really prefer self-help so have tried for 2 days to google anything that can help and have tried the following which I thought might help....

I went into the terminal (as root) and typed 'loadkeys -d' which gave me a path to defkeymap.map.gz

I unzipped it and changed the keys I wanted to blanks (alt and windows keys) and re-zipped it. I rebooted and nothing had changed - went back to that defkeymap.map file and it had reverted to how it was originally. Am I going about this the wrong way? Can someone else think how I can get SUSE to ignore these keys and just pass them to the RDP client?

What window manager/desktop environment is the user being logged in to?

Typical would be KDE or Gnome. In KDE, you'd go to Personal Settings, Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Shortcuts. I'm not sure about Gnome in 10.

In Keyboard Shortcuts, you should be able to disable the window manager from capturing certain key sequences.
