Description of problem: When enabling Desktop Effects setting Run Terminal shortcut to Alt-Escape won't work. After removing the shortcut from other bindings and setting it on Run Terminal (tried removing it from ordinary metacity bindings too) the only thing that happens when pressing Alt-Escape is that current GTK-element momentarily looses focus and then regains focus. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz-gnome-0.7.8-18.fc11.x86_64 compiz-fusion-gnome-0.7.8-8.fc11.x86_64 compiz-0.7.8-18.fc11.x86_64 compiz-fusion-0.7.8-8.fc11.x86_64 metacity-2.26.0-1.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Everytime. Steps to Reproduce: Open keyboard shortcut editor. Scroll down to Switch window binding and remove Alt-Escape binding there by selecting and hitting backspace. Close window. Switch on desktop effects. Enter keybord shortcut editor again and remove Alt-Escape bindings again if they are present. Set Alt-Escape binding on Run Terminal by selecting it and hitting Alt-Escape. Try using Alt-Escape. Actual results: Momentarily makes the current highligted GTK element loose focus and then back again. Expected results: Terminal window should open. Additional info: I've seen this in Ubuntu too and several Fedoras back. I've been using Alt-Escape for a terminal since my Amiga days. Alt-Escape works if I don't have desktop effects on and run metacity. There are no other key bindings on Alt-Escape gconftool-2 -R / | egrep -i 'Alt.*Escape' run_command_terminal_key = <Alt>Escape

Switching incorrect assignees to the default one.
Problem still exist in F12
Tried again with new nvidia drivers from rpmfusion. Still exists. Upped the version to 12
Hi Fredrik. Thanks for the report. Digging out, I found that the inabilty to use bind any combo with ESC has already been raised upstream. They don´t consider that this as a bug. http://bugs.opencompositing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545 for the story. It looks like this is not going to be changed soon (this was reported 2 years ago). If you really want this is be pushed forward, try to kindly make Danny sensitive to request and point of view (that looks legitimate as well in my sense, but it is not me that you have to convince :-) In the meantime, I don´t have the choice but to close this ticket. Regards. And happy new year 2010. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
