+Some desktop environments provide a method to for

+Many desktop environments and window managers
+for X implement global keyboard bindings.
+This is not how you should do this. The servers
+should recognise commands passed via
+@command{mds}'s interprocess communication.
+Configurations of the keyboard bindings should
+be done in a server like @command{mds-keybind}.
+
+Similarily some desktop environments implement
+rat bindings@footnote{Notably hot corners} and
+rat barriers. This too should be done via servers
+like like @command{mds-ratbind} and like
+@command{mds-ratbarrier}.
