I'm unassigning myself, in case someone is able to fix this before I get to it and figure out what's going on.
** Summary changed: - Running unity --reset breaks metacity keyboard shortcut defaults + Unity sets the wrong metacity keyboard shortcut defaults ** Description changed: + UPDATE: This affects first login of new users also. + Running unity --reset breaks Alt-F2 for the run command, Meta+D to show desktop, and Alt+F1 to show the main menu. I believe Unity itself ignores these metacity settings, but this breaks GNOME Shell & other similar sessions. See also https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/1:0.9.5.94+bzr2803-0ubuntu4 which I guess "fixed" the Ctrl-Alt-T shortcut. TEST CASE 1. cd ~/.gconf/apps 2. mv metacity metacity-old 3. unity --reset 4. Within a minute or so, a new metacity folder is created - 5. cat metacity/global_keybindings/%gconf.xml + 5. cat metacity/global_keybindings/%gconf.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <gconf> - <entry name="panel_run_dialog" mtime="1316732563" type="string"> - <stringvalue>disabled</stringvalue> - </entry> - <entry name="run_command_terminal" mtime="1316732563" type="string"> - <stringvalue><Control><Alt>T</stringvalue> - </entry> - <entry name="panel_main_menu" mtime="1316732563" type="string"> - <stringvalue>disabled</stringvalue> - </entry> - <entry name="show_desktop" mtime="1316732562" type="string"> - <stringvalue><Control><Alt>d</stringvalue> - </entry> + <entry name="panel_run_dialog" mtime="1316732563" type="string"> + <stringvalue>disabled</stringvalue> + </entry> + <entry name="run_command_terminal" mtime="1316732563" type="string"> + <stringvalue><Control><Alt>T</stringvalue> + </entry> + <entry name="panel_main_menu" mtime="1316732563" type="string"> + <stringvalue>disabled</stringvalue> + </entry> + <entry name="show_desktop" mtime="1316732562" type="string"> + <stringvalue><Control><Alt>d</stringvalue> + </entry> </gconf> What should happen: I think unity --reset should delete these strings which will reset settings to their defaults instead of setting new, wrong settings.
