I can confirm this behaviour in a fully updated stock-standard Lucid install. After discussing this issue with pitti, it is believed to be a case of compiz reading the metacity keybindings and doing something strange with them.
http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/SnG0nep0 contains the output of: $ gconftool -a --ignore-schema-defaults /apps/metacity/global_keybindings & $ grep -A1 run_command_terminal /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults/%gconf- tree.xml Running: $ gconftool -u /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_terminal removes the ALT+T binding only until the session is restarted. Upon restarting the session, the ALT+T binding returns. ** Package changed: ubuntu => compiz (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- <Alt>T opens up terminal, even though I haven't assigned it anywhere https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529852 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
