	Talking about keybindings, how about a key-binding capplet? It should
be able to link generic functions to keys in the entire enviroment. for
example, in one configuration could link delete-next-char to <delete>,
delete-prev-char to <back-space>, copy to ctrl-<ins>, paste to
shift-<ins> and cut to ctrl-<del>. 

	The functions should be generic enougth so a new app could "install"
new functions with a default key-bind (maybe the functions could
translate to gtk+ events?). This would uniformalize the keyborad in
every application, and that would realy be a great gain in term of
usuability of the gnome desktop. 

	comments please. :-)
