Ok, Frederic, last try, and I will not bug you anymore (this bug is not worth the air ticker to Paris, you know :-) I am responding off list as I send two attachments. This is complete home directory of user tester, as created by MDK9.0 (plus setups I made). Just untar it, create such user on your system and replace the home dir, maybe play with permissions. Then log in as this user, into GNOME session, en_US language. There is a working and nonworking setup. Test by clicking on the gnome-terminal button on the top panel, invoke two gnome-terminals and try switching (raising and focusing window) by clicking into the terminal window. I tested by logging into both setups several times, and not working really does not work, and working really does work :-) [..snip..] >>- for some layouts, Left+Right Shift keyboard switching accelerator will >>not work. > > Bugzilla again :) I filed these bugs as bugs #94775, #94776, #94777, #94779. Have fun, Michal
