From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030102 Description of problem: Upon logging out of my Gnome 2 session, my keyboard bindings no longer function. When the application starts up, I see the Desktop and Window Management sections but see no arrow to allow me to configure any options (I will attach a screenshot). It seems to be a permissions related problem since if I execute (via sudo) gnome-keybindings-properties from a terminal, it executes fine and shows me all the available options. Strangely, my panel also does not reflect any open windows (see second attachment). I imagine corruption has taken effect, but perhaps there is an easier solution or explanation than just blowing up the ~/.gnome2 directory? I have even logged out of Gnome, restarted X, and attempted to log back in with the same results. There is not option to revert to basic, known-good Gnome 2 settings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see description 2. 3. Actual Results: No shortcut sequences work. Panel does not show open applications. Expected Results: Shortcut sequences work (including ALT+TAB). Panel shows open applications. Additional info: $ rpm -qf `which gnome-keybinding-properties` control-center-2.0.1-8

smells like a gconf issue. Did you change your uid lately? Do you have a .gconf file? Can you query a gconf key? Try running gconf-editor to see if any of the keys look like they exist adn are settable.
