Openbox/LXDE C-A-Up unbinding

Hello.  I'm running LXDE w/Openbox on Fedora 14 (64 bit). 

I use Eclipse IDE and there is a handy binding that I use when I'm running Eclipse on Windows that doesn't work under Openbox.  Ctrl-Alt-Up causes a line to be duplicated. 

I've tried everything to have this key sequenced passed to Eclipse under Openbox, but it seems Openbox is taking it. 

I've tried commenting out all the C-A-Up settings in rc.xml, but that doesn't seem to work. 

How to configure Openbox (or whomever) to pass the sequence on to the application?

Rgds,

Dan

Could you post your rc.xml?

The only other thing I can think of is perhaps some other application is gobbling up the C-A-Up key binding. Otherwise, perhaps try a different WM and see  if you can replicate the behavior?

Thanks.  I found there was a local rc.xml called lxde-rc.xml which I didn't find in the first place.  I made the same changes there and now the binding is working.

Closed [ewaller]  I am glad the problem was resolved, but the solution may not be applicable to an Arch installation (The OP stated it was a Fedora install).
