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.

Hope that helps!

David
