Description of Problem: The installed shortcuts for changing workspaces and windows etc. do not work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.38-11 How Reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. login and start gnome 2. try one of the default shortcuts 3. Actual Results: The window modifier key is not used. Expected Results: The window modifier key is used and the shortcut works. Additional Information:
Which shortcuts do you mean? Do they work with control instead of alt?
The shortcuts to switch between different windows and to change to a different desktop/workspace e.g. M-F1, M-Tab. They didn't work with control either.
If you run "xev" and type the shortcuts into that, what does it output for the key press event?
