It looks like Executor/Linux-SVGA is screwing up the mapping on the
inverted-T arrow keys.  Specifically, when I tested in Bolo, the up arrow
mapped to Opt (Option?), the left arrow mapped to a little box, the right
arrow mapped to Up, and the down arrow mapped properly (i.e. to Dwn).  The
normal arrow keys appear to work properly (i.e. the ones on the numeric
keypad).  In addition, the keys are mapped properly under X.

I also have three small requests.

First, is there any way to make the wait cursor (the Z) have a white border
under X-windows.  It's obnoxious not to know where the cursor is.

Second, is there any way to turn the wait cursor on when Executor is looking
up a directories contents?  Even though such visual feedback slows down the
program, most users much prefer to know whether or not the computer is
acting on their request.

Third, is there any way to have the Browser remember the size and position
of folders it has previously seen?  It appears to have some funky memory
when stuff is saved to the quick bar, but most of the time I just find
folders through the hierarchy and it is a pain to always be resizing/
repositioning folders.

Thanks..
