Bug Description

Binary package hint: metacity

Festy Fawn. Under System, Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts, I have "Move Window to Workspace 6" set to Alt-F6, but it invokes the new Gnome "cycle windows of current application".
Also this user reported the same problem.

Upstreams devs reported that this isn't hardcoded by metacity and you can change it with gconf-editor, but gnome-keybinding-properties doesn't just know about that, so i changed this bug to affect gnome-control-center instead of metacity.

HOTFIX:

open gconf-editor, >> apps >> metacity >> global_keybindings and change the value of that entry (don't remember, maybe: cycle_group) which uses the ALT-F6 binding. set value to "disabled" and then every thing should be fine :)
