From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010316 On a freshly-installed 7.1 system, the bindings installed for Sawfish do not all work e.g. TAB doesn't work, so I can't switch to different windows or workspaces with the keyboard. The bindings to switch to specific workspaces do not work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Press shift-control-tab to move a window to the next workspace 2.Press Alt-F2 to move to the second workspace 3.Press Alt-tab to cycle between windows Actual Results: Either nothing happens or there is a beep Expected Results: Window should have moved, etc This may well be a problem with the XFree86 keymap but I'm assigning it to Sawfish at first. The relevant part of XF86Config-4: Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" $LANG is set to en_GB and I am in runlevel 5
I have the same issue on two freshly installed RH7.1 systems. The config seems to be identical: The relevant part of XF86Config-4: Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" $LANG is set to en_GB and I am in runlevel 5 Sawfish configuration tool indicates it has a "Meta key" (M) and an "Alt key" (A). The default bindings all set to use M, the meta key, but this is not the alt key on the gb keyboard layout. I modifed the bindings to use the A, alt key, in the .sawfish/custom file in my home directory and all the default key combinations now work as expected.
This is either fixed or a dup of #51172, AFAICT.
