X11 found funny to recently change the case of the keys. They were uppercase, 
now they use a mix of uppercase and lowercase. Very funny.

So now try:

	Desktop.SendKeys("{[Control_L]c}")

And tell me if it works.

Otherwise, are you replying to a previous post just to create a new subject? 
If that is the case, then stop doing that! You are making the mailing-list 
unreadable by mixing unrelated threads.
