Description of problem: IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads (a T60 here) have additional "screen forward" and "screen backward" buttons next to the cursor keys. The keysym is XF86Forward and XF86Backward. In gnome-shell, I cannot find a way to set them up to switch between desktops, which I have been using for the last five years or so. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -q gnome-shell gnome-shell-3.0.2-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run gnome-shell on IBM Thinkpad 2. Press buttons Actual results: Nothing Expected results: Desktop changed Additional info: All it would take is a setting in the keyboard shortcut section for "desktop forward/backward" (where this is in the new thing downward/upward, which really makes my head spin). While at it, it would be nice to also add a shortcut to go to the four desktop. Many people have been using four desktops in the past (back from the old days when this was the default rather than two), so adding a shortcut for "switch to 4th desktop" would be nice as well. BTW, is there a way to have a configured minimum number of desktops?
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
