Good to know that this is documented. (But I disagree with 1. that document in
*not* only useful to "GNOME2 Desktop users with disabilities" is useful to a
much wider audience!)

Yes this key is also labled with 'ins' (einfg on german keyboards)

For "ins" see above, but "del" or "." ("," on german keyboards) has the same
effect as "+" with XFree 4.x so that one is missing from the documantion.
And for unsing "del" it's just the key next to "ins" ;-) that might be the
explaination.

Could somebody add this the the access guide?
