I have two computers running Fedora 15, fully up to date. When you press alt+tab, you can usually go back using ctrl+shift+tab. For some reason, this works on one of my two computers but not on the other. I can't figure out what would be the difference between the two. How should I troubleshoot this?
And for what it's worth, the computer this works on is a desktop an the one where it doesn't is a thinkpad. Furthermore, there seems to be another somewhat similar bug, in reverse: keyboard shortcuts like ctrl+c/ctrl+x/ctrl+v/ctrl+f don't work in Nautilus on the desktop, but they work with Nautilus on the thinkpad. The desktop computer is running a PAE kernel and the thinkpad is running the generic kernel.
Does running $ gconftool-2 -u /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/switch_windows_backward fix the problem for you?
Yes, unsetting that key solves the problem. Now why does a gconf key for Metacity even influence the behavior of Mutter?
(In reply to comment #3) > Yes, unsetting that key solves the problem. > > Now why does a gconf key for Metacity even influence the behavior of Mutter? Because that's how it was implemented. Now please close this bug (which is filled against the wrong component anyway).
