Same problem here on Ubuntu 7.10. Workaround: Run gconf-editor Change keys in /apps/metacity/global_keybindings apps/metacity/window_keybindings Say <Mod3> or <Mod4> or <Mod5> to tell the key you mean, "<Mod4>m"
You can find and set the modification bits with xmodmap: $ xmodmap xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 Super_L (0x7f) mod4 Hyper_L (0x80) mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x74), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c) If your map does not look like this one, use xmodmap to change the modification bits: clear Mod4 add Mod4 = Hyper_L or similar An alternative is to use xkbcomp (read out keyboard table, change, read back in), but this is trickier. -- [dapper] Cannot use the 'Super_L' key for shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40866 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
