I have watched the text edit mode setting for emacs key bindings gradually fade away. First
the dialog-box checkbox disappeared. Then the on-line documentation on the setting in gconf
was deleted! The first could be attributed to streamlining. The second smacks of malice.
When emacs edit key binding ultimately goes away, as it seems it must, I suppose I will
finally switch to KDE. I wonder if there will be anything to miss, then.
