       I  really  have to thank you very much as it works  with  this
       module.   I  am surprised as in SL5 the "original" module  was
       working pretty well.

       About  icewm taking 60% CPU it was because the mailhost  where
       my  "MailBoxPath" was referring ha just changed ! So it is  OK
       now.

       I  still  have  to solve the xmodmap and xset  problem  (as  a
       workaround I run a cron to do it every hour).

       Thanks again for your help.
