Can you confirm, that the menu opened for you is the GNOME main menu (the same as from the panel)? Did you run gconf-editor from the user account? (or as root, but using "Save as default" from the context menu) Turning off /apps/metacity/general/enable_windows_keys should immediately disable binding of both Windows keys to GNOME Menu in GNOME. I have tested it just now and it works for me. This binding is a SuSE-specific feature. And yes, it ignores keymap. See bug 217044 for more. Only "Menu" key binding is defined on application level. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

As root I did # gconf-editor chose apps-metacity-general unchecked checkbox behind "enable_windows_keys" closed gconf-editor-window (wondering about the fact, that there is no "save chenges"/"save settings" question/button... but opening gconf-editor next time the setting was remembered (still unchecked)) (I didn't find any context menu (to choose "save as default") - o.k. - now I found out - right click on that entry...) But still win-keys open gnome-menu!! Now I did as user - succes! (strange - but I'm happy now) So - the whole thing has a solution, but it is not easy to find out. Isn't it possible to make gnome capable to read an X-keyboard-input like Super_L (or something else, which is provided by xmodmap) and to open menu then? So everything could be done with xmodmap. e.g. I could put lines ! keycode 113 = ISO_Level3_Shift keycode 113 = Mode_switch ! keycode 115 = Super_L keycode 115 = Super_L Multi_key ! keycode 116 = Super_R Multi_key keycode 116 = ISO_Level3_Shift Super_R to my .Xmodmap-file and (if connected Super_L and Super_R with "open gnome-menu") left-win-key and shift+right-win-key would open gnome menu, while Alt-Gr would switch Mode and right-win-key would work as level-3-chooser as I want. (also wondering about the fact, there is no possibility to choose either left or right win-key only in gconf-editor) (also possibilities to choose alt- and win-key-behavior via gnome-control-center and via yast are very strange and seems to conflict extern and even *intern*) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

If gconf-editor is started by root, it changes only settings for root. Other users are not affected. The only exception are two items in the context menu of the key: "Save as default" and "Save as mandatory". These two items set the value as default resp. as mandatory immutable setting for all users (but users may need to relogin or reload gconfd to take the new value into effect). The problem of j and n is not related to GNOME. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
