How to get gtk "Emacs" theme again in xubuntu 8.10?
 

In previous Linux installations I have created a file ~/.gtkrc-2.0
with the following contents:-

gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"

... and this gives me the expected keyboard shortcuts I want in
firefox among other places. In particular it means that CTRL/U is
delete line.

However in xubuntu 8.10 with firefox 3.0.3 this doesn't work, can
anyone tell me the magic incantation to get CTL/U to work as I expect
it to with this installation?

In Ubuntu you can set that with gconf-editor (or gconftool if you prefer
the command line), under /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme.
Perhaps that would work for you.

I wonder what the xfce equivalent is, I'll go and ask on the xfce list.
