I like to map Meta to the windows keys, so that I can bind Meta+key to shortcuts that use the key. My workaround for this bug has been to pick Super in the window properties, and then map meta to the windows keys. This makes the win keys move windows, leaving alt untouched, while letting me use

2006-07-29 Thread Simon80
Well, this was pretty hard to get working because of the dependencies on newer stuff, and I ended up ignoring them whenever I could get away with it, but I eventually got something built with 2.15.2, and installed it. When I left click or double click on the applet, it doesn't lock up, but a menu

I can test this on Dapper if you'd like, I've taken to backporting packages from edgy sources when it suits me. -- Cpufreq applet locks up desktop with hand Icon (double click) or gnome-panel https://launchpad.net/bugs/22349 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com

Oops, I didn't notice that comment. I use the win key to move windows around, and I don't want alt to be used for this, because then I can't alt-click on links in firefox. It doesn't seem to matter what I use to set the setting, but I use either gconf-editor or the Window prefs dialog (with

I'm very sorry, but I was completely wrong about this having gone away, since my last comment, I've observed the issue on both a computer running Breezy, and this fresh install of Dapper that I'm using right now, which is on a different computer from the one that I reported the bug on. --

I was setting it using the GUI dialog, but I wanted to narrow down the problem to metacity, so I verified that it was actually being set properly in gconf. Setting it to super would be a decent workaround though. I dislike the way GNOME refuses to expose all of its functionality in the dialogs,
