4.4.5 is the only version available via synaptic.

is there something called keyboard or mouse - they must have changed it in the 4.5 rc (been awhile and I don't remember so well these days)

there is 4.5 in Kubuntu but you'd need to add the repos, see http://www.kubuntu.org/node/157

My system is PCLinux 10 and I don't know where to find "keyboard" or "mouse" settings.

@google0110: That's the 4.5 path. In 4.4 it's quite different - on the Advanced tab, if I remember correctly. The easiest way is to type 'shortcut' into the search box then see which icon doesn't grey out.

Joseppi - in systemsettings is there Computer Administration -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts

Thanks.

There is a window glow effect in systemsettings->appearance->windows in the shadow tab.
