Description of problem: If I enable the "Locate pointer" feature in the Mouse settings (Under the "Cursors" tab) and then try to switch workspace with ctrl-alt-<arrow> it doesn't work reliably. When i deselect the "Locate pointer" feature switching workspaces works correctly Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-2.1.3-1 metacity-2.4.8-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Mouse preferences 2. Select the "Cursors" tab and check the box in the "Locate pointer" section 3. Try to move between workspaces with ctrl-alt-(some arrow key) Actual results: When you hold down the ctrl-alt combination and press the wanted arrow-key it often doesn't react (doesn't switch workspace) the first time. (perhaps 80% of the time) but need repeated presses on the arrow key in question to "start working" Expected results: Correct movement between the different workspaces Additional info:
This is why all keybindings need to be done in the window manager, instead of in gnome-settings-daemon... Anyway, will consider this a control-center bug for now.
I don't know how to fix this in the control-center (short of moving it to metacity...) Did you have a fix in mind, Havoc?
