I tried it and it shows the same problem as  before (with rc.conf
without the sh -c stuff). I used the code 236, which is associated in
my keyboard with the "E-mail" key.
Still, I would prefer using rc.conf, rather than launching a third party daemon.

Anyway, I think openbox is the best wm around, in spite one or two
minor glitches...
