2011-09-28 06:01:11 Jeremy Bícha summary Running unity --reset breaks metacity keyboard shortcut defaults Unity sets the wrong metacity keyboard shortcut defaults
2011-09-28 06:01:45 Jeremy Bícha description Running unity --reset breaks Alt-F2 for the run command, Meta+D to show desktop, and Alt+F1 to show the main menu. I believe Unity itself ignores these metacity settings, but this breaks GNOME Shell & other similar sessions. See also https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/1:0.9.5.94+bzr2803-0ubuntu4 which I guess "fixed" the Ctrl-Alt-T shortcut. TEST CASE 1. cd ~/.gconf/apps 2. mv metacity metacity-old 3. unity --reset 4. Within a minute or so, a new metacity folder is created 5. cat metacity/global_keybindings/%gconf.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <gconf> <entry name="panel_run_dialog" mtime="1316732563" type="string"> <stringvalue>disabled</stringvalue> </entry> <entry name="run_command_terminal" mtime="1316732563" type="string"> <stringvalue>&lt;Control&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;T</stringvalue> </entry> <entry name="panel_main_menu" mtime="1316732563" type="string"> <stringvalue>disabled</stringvalue> </entry> <entry name="show_desktop" mtime="1316732562" type="string"> <stringvalue>&lt;Control&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;d</stringvalue> </entry> </gconf> What should happen: I think unity --reset should delete these strings which will reset settings to their defaults instead of setting new, wrong settings.
