I'm a founding member of "Just Say NO to Skype." I think I'm the only member though... but we're still taking applications!To be serious: uhhh... this comes as a surprise to people? It's a layered architecture, basically: if the first layer doesn't catch a keystroke, it gets passed on. Usually to the active window. That's how hotkeys work. I mean if X didn't catch your hotkey before it reached the active window, it would be the active window's job to implement that. Along with half of the shit that X actually does, every single program would need to know how to replace that functionality.That's ludicrous. Which is why it's not how modern operating systems are designed.
