Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome

Neither with compiz, nor with metacity, I am able to use the alt+f2 shortcut; in compiz, Gnome Compatibility is enabled. Until 2.6.30-9, it worked. Since Karmic switched to 2.6.31-*, I am not able to use this shortcut anymore.
I tried to reset it from System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts, but it does not work.
Other shorcuts works fine.

Currently, ALT+F2 works. Go to the top panel, change the color to solid. Try ALT+F2... it doesn't work. Change the panel (all panels) back to using the system theme... ALT+F2 still won't work. Open a terminal, type killall gnome-panel and wait for the panels to reload. Try ALT+F2 again and it should work.
