ArchLinux (wrt lojban IRC -- I recall 3 users + me, and it seems like it should correlate with Lojban usage). However Ubuntu is the generally most used Linux in the overall population AFAICS -- in Lojbanistan, this would probably translate into using Debian. Anyway distro 'flavour' is not going to effect it much... it's specifically whether gnome, kde, or some other desktop environment is being used. You might be better off requiring http://www.nongnu.org/xbindkeys/xbindkeys.html and using that to perform the binding on Linux -- then you wouldn't need to care about what desktop environment/WM was being used.
