One more thing I forgot to note in my haste. I think its the pointer 
resources you want to find and bind to a key stroke event.

The easiest fix would be to use the number keypad, i.e. turn NUMLOCK on 
and use the arrows on that keypad to navigate the mouse pointer. But we 
all know that there is the feared hand in the Linux Frontend that makes 
working with the Frontend impossible with NUMLOCK active.

Also, in Linux, as you probably already know, there are many window 
managers and two popular desktop environments all of which can be 
customized and at some point definitions of resources start to clash 
undesirably.

I'll leave the rest of the snooping around to you. Apologies for the top 
post :-).

Cheers
Yas
