Conflicting Alt hotkeys in System monitor

[gsiliceo]

This is a usability bug, you can't close a process with only the keyboard using the System Monitor.
1. Open system monitor
2. Hit down arrow to select a process
3. Hit alt+p to hotkey de End Process button
4. The Confirmation dialog opens.
5. Hit alt+e to select the confirmation End Process button
6. The Edit menu opens

Alt+e is the hotkey for the Edit menu and also for the button inside the confirmation dialog, you can of course use the key arrows to select the proper button, but still.

Proposed solutions:
Make that dialog modal, or change the Alt hotkey for the End Process button in it.

This bug only occurs if the global menu panel is active on the gnome panel, because the Menu bar lives in a different 'window'.

Thanks for the bug report. However as this appears to be a Gnome System Monitor bug you should also report it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/

Couldn't reproduce on gnome 2.6.

I found the issue causing this bug, gnome applet global menu, it takes the focus i should report it there.

Hello gsiliceo, As you can see, upstream developers have invalidated it as it was reported in the wrong project, so, would you please explain what you mean with "gnome applet global menu"?, thanks.

Sure, it means that it belongs in this bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353076 as apparently thats were bugs should be reported for the package i mention.

Couldn't reproduce this myself on Ubuntu 12.04. Shall we close it?
