[9.04] Alt+F2 not working anymore

[_dan_]

After upgrading alt+F2 keyboard shortcut will not work anymore on my Sony Vaio Laptop.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

Unless it's specify, gnome-launch-box is never launch with Alt-F2. the standart program launch with Alt-F2 is part of gnome-apnel.

rather a keyboard events issue than a gnome-panel one

Any similarities to this bug?

Please attach the output of the following command with the affected kernel after pushing Alt+F2:
$ dmesg
Also attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log

   1. What brand and model is your keyboard.
      How is your keyboard connected to your PC: DIN, PS/2, USB, USB wireless, ...
   2. For a USB keyboard enter the following command on a terminal/console:
      $ lsusb -v > ~/lsusb-v
   3. Open a terminal/console and enter the following commands (minimal information as described in KernelTeamBugPolicies):
      $ uname -a > ~/uname-a
      $ cat /proc/version_signature > ~/version_signature
      $ sudo lspci -vvnn > ~/lspci-vvnn
   4. Attach ~/lsusb-v, ~/uname-a, ~/version_signature and ~/lspci-vvnn to the bug report as seperate attachments.

It seems to be a gnome related Problem, under lxde for example it works.
When pressing alt+f2 gnome terminal shows following chars: ";3Q"

dmesg doenst show any related output.

I dont know how my keyboard is attached since its a Sony Vaio Laptop

Here are the requested files

Turns out this was bug #331556 for me. I enabled 'Gnome Compatibility' in compiz config settings manager and it started working again.
