this worked with autotools too. sudo make uninstall. also worked if you used
the same prefix. this isn't "improved". it's just continuing the same features.
yes - long ago you did have to compile 20 libs one after another then e...
those libs got merged into a single build. that improved.

that's odd. i showed you the output of xev when bindings are trapped - did you
see that when you press? do you see any events on PRESS? or absolutely nothing
at all?
