Gnome Classic: F10 captured globally w/o compiz, w/o Unity

[Radu Cristescu]

I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 beta1, I run a Gnome Classic desktop without compiz or Unity, and F10 is being hooked on globally. I deleted all occurrences of F10 in gconf-editor, but it didn't go away.

The window manager is Metacity, so the ccsm can't help me here. What's more, in the Gnome Terminal the F10 key is both sent to the console and is captured to display a popup menu (Gnome Terminal doesn't hook on F10 - that's what I told it).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Funny thing happened that the maintainers may want to know. Recently, I experienced bug #963125 so I ended up deleting my entire .gconf and I started with the defaults again. Today I thought I'd give this F10 bug a try, as all my keybinding options for the terminal were reset, and F10 is working properly (i.e. when unbound, it stops working, as it should).

Since I've been upgrading my Ubuntu since 9.10, I'm starting to believe Gnome and/or other things trip on things from the past. Even my Unity-2D desktop environment is a lot smoother than prior to deleting .gconf so I wonder if this is the equivalent of the reinstall people have to do on another popular OS.
