PROBLEMWhile
connecting over Xrdp, hitting the "D" key alone hides all my
windows and shows the desktop. This is problematic since I often
wish to type words containing at least one "D" in it. In case
anyone else is having this problem, I've wrestled through it and
offer this help.I'm
using Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meercat and connecting via Xrdp. I only
have this problem when connecting remotely.APPARENT
CAUSEI
don't pretend to know for sure, but the problem appears to be that
the remote connection is flubbing Metacity's
"d" binding for the "show
desktop" command. More precisely, the string
"" doesn't appear to be
functioning for me. If I change
to
, I can use Ctrl + D to show
desktop, and I can then type the letter D without it hiding every
window from me.Further
evidence isn't working for
me, if I change Metacity's "panel_run_dialog" global key binding
from "F2" to
"F2" I bring up the run dialog
by hitting F2 alone.WORKAROUNDChange
the system's "show desktop" keystroke. Here are the
steps.1)
Alt+F22)
gconf-editor3)
/->app->metacity->global_keybindings4)
Change the assigned keystroke for show_desktop from
"d" to
"d" or
"d"
or "disabled"If
someone finds this worthy of submitting a bug ticket, please let me
know so I can follow it. Thanks.Ed
