No worries; I’m glad that you solved the issue by yourself. If you’re still curious about the xte issue, you can post the part from .xbindkeysrc here so I can look at it. (My initial guess would be problems with ‘ and ” characters.)

To active the cube I used this tring: “qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.invokeShortcut Cube”

Awesome guide! Thanks so much!

If I modify my script to call xterm first, then xte works after I close xterm… :S :S :S what’s going on ? :/

If I specify “xterm” as a command to run, it works fine, but when I use xte, it does nothing.

I even went and created a script and placed xte command in it; if I run the script the command works, but not when I trigger it through xbindkeys.

Any idea on what’s wrong?

GUI configuration tools are sometimes limiting.
Also, there is no such thing as a wrong mentality.

I was using xvkdb instead of xte for quite a while and experienced occasional glitches. Sometimes the assigned key combination was generated multiple times on a single mouse button press: a single wheel tilt switched through several desktops (instead of one), mouse button with Ctrl+W assigned to it closed multiple tabs in Firefox etc. Mostly occured when the overall CPU load was heavy. Switching to xte has solved the problem so far. Using KDE 4.5.2 with desktop effects enabled.

Hopeful and clear!!!
