Re: [Evolution] emacs keybindings in 1.4?

[Ettore Perazzoli <ettore ximian com>]

Yeah, this is indeed the case.  Unfortunately we didn't have enough time
to work around this problem in 1.4.0.

The possible workaround is to change the menu keybindings to match / not
conflict with the Emacs keybindings when user switches the main GNOME
setting...  It's a bit nasty but I don't think we have much choice.

(Also, we'd happily accept a patch that does this, right now no-one is
working it AFAIK.)
