Public bug reported: In Ubuntu 14.04 beta with Gnome Flashback session with Metacity, the Alt+F2 keyboard shortcut doesn't work anymore. Previously it could be used to open a small Run dialog.
Also, in Ubuntu 12.04 this could be configured in System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> System -> "Den Befehl ausführen-Dialog anzeigen" (German for "show the Execute Command dialog"). This is no longer possible; the System category doesn't show any such item any more in 14.04. I would expect that ideally the Alt-F2 shortcut works out of the box when starting the Gnome Flashback (Metacity) session, or that it at least can be enabled/configured manually. This is with Ubuntu 14.04 beta (x86_64), in Virtualbox, with gnome-panel 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu10. ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299784 Title: Alt+F2 run dialog not available any more To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1299784/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
