Description

I am also experiencing this. If I use "Meta is mapped to the Win keys", oddly my "p" key gets disabled. Instead, I removed this setting and used xmodmap to add the modifiers (see below). Show desktop, run and go to desktop 1, 2, 3, 4 work. Lock screen, show web browser, email, mute, and more do not work. xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x73), Super_L (0x7f), Super_R (0x74) mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c) it seems that only the keys configured via metacity work - those that are configured for gnome-settings-daemon do not. I've filed a trivial patch for this upstream at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165343 I'm using the patch on my systems and it works fine. Hopefully someone over at GNOME will take a look at it and include it. Just adding myself to the CC list. Guess I'll use my own patched gnome-settings-daemon for the foreseeable future. This really is inconsistent. Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! Yes, it's still present in FC5. I haven't checked GNOME CVS, but there's no indication in the upstream bug that the fix was committed. Until that changes it will be in FC6 as well. Moving to devel, as I'm judging it unlikely that there will be an update to Gnome for FC5 for this. But hopefully that upstream fix will get in for the next release. (clearing needinfo bit) I'm not sure that control-center is the root of the problem. I sometimes get the same behavior while using just Fluxbox, and othertimes (just by logging out, then logging in again) it works correctly. Would this have anything to do with control-center? I used xbindkeys to show my keystrokes when it was broken, and when it was working correctly. Here's what happened when I pressed Mod4+z: When it was working: "NoCommand" m:0x40 + c:52 Mod4 + z "NoCommand" m:0x40 + c:115 Mod4 + Super_L When it was broken: "NoCommand" m:0x0 + c:52 z "NoCommand" m:0x0 + c:115 Super_L Topher, Sorry, this bug refers to the fact that control-center specifically refuses certain keybindings. A patch exists. Have you tried checking just Mod4? Are you sure it's mapped (maybe you ran xmodmap or similar)? *** Bug 143837 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is a known problem, see Ray's explanation upstream at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165343#c37 The fix would be to make use of GTK+'s new feature which allows to recognise what each modifier is bound to, so we can ignore CapsLock, NumLock, but not Shift or the Windows key when capturing key bindings. Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp Still a problem. Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
