Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: metacity

Release:  Ubuntu 10.10
Package:   1:2.28.0-0ubuntu1


I run a bunch of remote-login multiuser systems that were originally built with 
Ubuntu Hoary and that have then been successively updated to 10.10/Maverick. 
After this last update, users have complained that, in their VNC sessions, when 
they start their gnome-session, the 'd' key is by default set to hide and show 
the desktop. 


They can fix it  by doing one of these:

-Editing ~/.vnc/xstartup and replacing the "gnome-session &" or  "x
-window-manager &" line at the end with some old-school window manager,
such as "twm &".

-While in vnc or conventional x display session, running gnome-control-
center and clicking on the Keyboard Shortcuts icon, scrolling to the
bottom and changing the "Hide All Normal Windows and Set Focus to the
Desktop" line to some other set of keystrokes.

-Copying over ~/.gconf/apps/metacity/global_keybindings/%gconf.xml from
some other user who has already fixed their gnome setting into their own
home.

At this point I can't find where in the file tree that default
keybinding is being set to "d".
