Yes, I actually felt ill yesterday. Which is funny, because I've been
trecking in both the Sinai and Sahara, and felt fine, but a 2 mile walk to
the docks in southampton... no way.

Yes, I have used apps which enfore Alt, but on my favourite keyboard
(cherry clicky) in order to press alt+x,c,v with my left hand I have to
curl my thumb right under my second finger. Painful.

Maybe globally defined interface style? I will generally go for vi style,
few chords, crypic keypresses style over, chord heavy or mouse heavy
operation.
Gnome and KDE people have standard location for config files, so it can't
be that hard ;), but it does raise the question about about where a gnome
audio app stores its prefs.
