Ubuntu “vnc4” package Bugs Bug #1297904

Installed RCN build of 14.04 on BBB, added gnome-desktop, tightvncserver. At first VNC connect, plain gray screen with X cursor in VNC. Edited .vnc/xstartup per http://askubuntu.com/questions/475023/how-to-make-vnc-server-work-with-ubuntu-desktop-without-xfce.

Now works, except 's' and 'd' are always shortcuts to system menu and minimize all. So it isn't just vnc4 or 13.10...
Also up and down arrows are max/minimize! Can't use command history!

I fixed the 's' with dconf-editor:
in org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings,
Toggle shaded state was ['<Primary><Alt>s']
No idea what "shaded" has to do with showing the system menu...

'd':
Hide all normal windows
['<Primary><Super>d', '<Primary><Alt>d', '<Super>d']

Also maximize and unmaximize... Actually I searched for "keybin" (couldn't type the 'd'!) and zapped anything with <Super> in it.

This would be easier if I could navigate in the dconf-editor window. My mouse wheel moves several screenfulls up or down per "click", clicking above or below the scroll thumb moves way more than a screenfull, and dragging the thumb moves the content about 1/8 of cursor distance. The only reliable way to see all of the entries is to use the down arrow key to step through all of them!

And I'm only using dconf because somehow my System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts panel is missing - just not there... Can't find any clues how to fix that.

This kind of thing is why Linux is a niche market.
