Compiz is desktop independent window manager- runs in gnome, kde, xfce or without them too, so it's shortcuts needs to be handled independent of what DE user is running. If you want to use metacity shortcuts any way install still experimental libcompizconfig-backend-gconf, it may or may not work as expected. Closing it as this in not a bug but is by design. -- 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.

No, as it does not work as good as native flat-file backend. Compiz will use it by default if installed so user does not have to do anything special. It would be equally confusing for users who set up their shortcuts in ccsm in gnome and see them not working in kde/xfce, using flat-file ensures that compiz settings remain the same in kde/gnome/xfce. It sure is confusing to understand that settings in gnome control center and kde control center are for window managers of those DE and not for compiz. -- 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.

Now, the ideal thing would be to sync the changes to the keybindings for all WM, so should we write a compiz plugin that listens for changes done by the capplet and sync's them to the compiz config? -- 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.

"turning on the effects" is an option that is completely unrelated to keyboard shortcuts from the user's point of view, WM probably stands for Washing Machine :P it's one thing to expect that the user understand that "KDE" and "GNOME" are two different "Desktops", and another is to explain that "when you turn on the desktop effects, your keyboard shortcuts are gone! why? oh, well, cyberorg said it and so it's that way" therefore, this is a major usability bug (but strictly speaking it's a bug of GNOME desktop, not compiz) acceptable solution would be if the capplet changed configuration in both gconf and compiz flatfile backend simultaneously. btw this also applies to "window behavior" settings (focus-follows-mouse and friends). i filed a bug for this some time ago, but it was INVALIDated...
