Hi

Mine still works OK on F9 FF3

I assumed that suggestion from Steven Orr in 2005 was still doing the
job for me - maybe its something else ??!!

tarifa ~ 896# cat .gtkrc
include "/usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc"
tarifa ~ 897# cat .gtkrc-2.0
include "/usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc"

cat /usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc

...
 bind "<ctrl>u" {
     "move-cursor" (paragraph-ends, -1, 0)
     "delete-from-cursor" (paragraph-ends, 1)
  }
...
bind "<ctrl>e" { "move-cursor" (paragraph-ends, 1, 0) }
...
