Hi, I've been forcefully pushed to change Linux Distros (from Ubuntu to OpenSUSE). I've been running the very stable Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for very long. But I recently upgraded to a new system, and 10.04 seems to lack some hardware support. The latest (K)Ubuntu 12.04 is damn unstable (random total system freezes - the mouse doesn't even move), and I absolutely hate the Unity interface. Gnome 3 is no better. Unfortunately switching the desktop to something like JWM doesn't help because of the system freezes - which seems to be a unstable OS (kernel) issue. So I'm trying OpenSUSE 12.1 (64-bit), and so far the OS is stable, but KDE is still something to get used to. Anyway, to get to the point. I have installed (copied) all my old development folders to the new system, and setup FPC as I normally had it. Compiling Lazarus IDE, and my other projects works as expected. What is happening though, is that KDE (I think) is stealing my keyboard shortcuts, so they don't work in Lazarus IDE (compiled with LCL-GTK2) or MSEide for that matter. eg; Ctrl+F4 to close an editor file doesn't work, and I am forced to use the mouse. Anybody know where in KDE do I look for global keyboard shortcuts, so I can disable Ctrl+F4 usage in KDE? I've already looked in "System Settings -> Shortcuts and Gestures", and searched for Ctrl+F4, but nowhere do I see an existing entry. Where else can I look? Does this happen to other KDE users too?
Here it is 'System settings - Computer Administration - Keyboard & Mouse - Standard Keyboard Shortcuts' (or global keyboard shortcuts).
Surprised to hear you have problems with Kubuntu 12.04. I run it myself, didn't experience any problems, my laptop is up and running since months.
Maybe a problem with the X drivers ? I never use the 'recommended' nvidia drivers, always a previous version.
