Thank you for your bug report, are you sure it doesn't open on the screen0? Do you get the same issue using other keybindings?

[keepitsimpleengr (keepitsimpleengineer)]

It does not open on screen :0.0 when cursor is on screen :0.1.

I expected it to because of gnome panel 2.26.0 problems.

Suggest a few key bindings and I'll give them a try

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

you can try the key to start the music player for example

[keepitsimpleengr (keepitsimpleengineer)]

I don't mean to be obtuse, but I use this computer for work, and really the only short-cut key I use is the print screen and alt-print screen. There is no music (or for all I know, a music player) on the system. There is not even a printer attached to this system.

Perhaps you could suggest a documentation page that would detail the shortcut keys and what they do, I will be pleased to do this.

Thanx…

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

you can open system, preferences, keybinding, click on add and add a random command and try that keybinding

Shortcut key action on screen :0.1 results

Alt-F1 does not work
Alt-F5 does not work

Alt-F4 works
Alr-F10 works
Alt-Space works
Ctl-Alt-Left/Right work

There are a number of XF86⋯⋯ shortcuts and what they are/do is outside my ken.

The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you try on karmic?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

did you open a GNOME bug about that too?

[keepitsimpleengr (keepitsimpleengineer)]

Will not upgrade to Karmic on that system at least until next year. Too risky after all the amd64 & Gnome 2.26 problems.

The bug that this one seemed directly related to was already open.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580103

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue should be fixed in karmic, you can reopen if you still get the issue though

[keepitsimpleengr (keepitsimpleengineer)]

I applied the patch for glib2, and now it works.
