The presentation notes were in HTML, so I can revise/extend those notes 
with answers to the questions people asked and put them wherever if 
anyone's interested.

KHotKeys (KDE 3.3.2) is apparently not quite ready for prime time.  
Also, if you use "xrandr -s 1024x768" to switch the root window size 
from 1600x1200 to 1024x768, then use "xvidtune -next" to try to switch 
resolutions, you may get your graphics card to display Undefined 
Behavior.  I don't know whether this is a general thing, or something 
specific to the Rage128 video chipset... anyone care to test this on 
some other graphics cards?  Only 2 of my machines are running X, so I 
can only test this with Rage128 and nVidia chips.
