From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14 Description of problem: Pressing ALT+F2 to get the "Run Dialog" (xfrun4) has no result. Noticed that there was no key-binding defined by default for ALT+F2. Created a new pref. by doing: Settings -> Window Manager Settings -> Keyboard Once the pref is created, no facility to actually add a new key mapping. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ALT+F2 - wait... xfrun4 doesn't run. 2. Settings -> Window Manager Settings -> Keyboard, Add a new preference/theme 3. No provisions to actually add a new key mapping. (No add button for keymapping visible) Actual Results: xfrun4 does not run. No run dialog appears. No visible method to add a new key mapping. Expected Results: xfrun4 should have run. Should see the run dialog. Should have a way to define a new keymapping/action. Additional info:
Per our conversation on IRC, it looks like this was caused by the xfce-mcs-plugins package not being installed. The bug reporter installed Xfce via PackageKit. Not sure why some packages in the Xfce group were not installed properly. A 'yum groupinstall XFCE' resulted in: 1. ============================================================================= 2.

How did you install XFCE?
I installed it via the gpk-application. I didn't know xfce-mcs-plugins was missed. I basically selected the xfdesktop package. I hand selected a couple other packages, but I never removed a dep or anything. I basically migrated from Gentoo, so I am not that familiar with the YUM command line and hence was not comfortable with installing it via YUM. Kevin then helped me and walked me through the process on IRC. Thanks.
