ArchLinux (wrt lojban IRC -= - I recall 3 users + me, and it seems like
it should correlate with Lojb= an usage). However Ubuntu is the
generally most used Linux in the overall population AFAICS -- in
Lojbani= stan, this would probably translate into using Debian.

Anyway distro= 'flavour' is not going to effect it much... it's
specifical= ly whether gnome, kde, or some other desktop environment is
being used. You might be better off requiring
http://www.nongnu.org/xb= indkeys/xbindkeys.html and using that to
perform the binding on Linu= x -- then you wouldn't need to care about
what desktop environment/WM was being used.

Hope that helps!

The differences between different flavours of L= inux are much more shallow than people think. Regardless of distribution, i= t's pretty much guaranteed that they all use the same low-level stuff, = and they all use the same kernel. Having the Linux version depend on xbindk= eys would be the best idea, as xbindkeys is universally available.
