Except that means I have to go and purchase a wireless mouse, where I already have the remote with 
laser pointer built in, and I have used it for enough years that I have perfect motor memory while 
I'm presenting. Also, having it all in one leaves my left hand comfortably free.

Oh, and being right handed, my laser hand and mouse hand are one and the same anyway :)
I'm quite uncoordinated with my left hand.

Ta for the thought though. I did manage to get it working using xmodmap. (I also managed to almost 
completely make my keyboard unusable in the process, but we call that learning also :O )

On the topic of Impress. I quite like it. It seems to have most of the features I need and allow the 
little flourishes that are a complete waste of time in a presentation, but the crowd like.

Regards,
Brad
