I don't know what exact this command did but Alt+Enter worked after that. The side effect, though, was that it squeezed the window a bit so that I couldn't even see the bottom of the terminal. gnome-settings-daemon is, like it sounds, a daemon used by gnome that manages gnome session settings, probably the reason that gnome-terminal wouldn't start is because it may require the settings daemon to be running, I am unsure as to what you mean by "squeezed the window" but it's probably a result of one of those settings(or so it would seem, intuitively), when I accidentally had this running at one point, I noticed a lot of different things. but if you're not using gnome, you might be better off using another terminal emulator anyways Alex K

I changed it to: WMII_TERM="xterm" and then wmii uses xterm and doesn't need me to run an application such as gedit, firefox before Alt+Enter works. so yes, the problem is only with gnome-terminal. I also tried to use a terminal to start wmii and nothing much printed. I also replaced these configs with the ones from [ http://code.suckless.org/dl/wmii/wmii-3.6.tar.gz] and got the same result.

Re: [wmii] Alt+Enter doesn't work with wmii-3.5/Ubuntu 9.04
Check your terminal from which you run X for any output when you try alt+enter maybe, replace your configuration file with a fresh one, also, does it work if you use xterm instead of gnome-terminal? So should I put new configs in another folder? 3.6 still uses wmii-3.5 as it's config directory i believe I was only talking about if you used the mercurial repo Alex K.
Re: [wmii] Alt+Enter doesn't work with wmii-3.5/Ubuntu 9.04
Yes I was fooled by the config folder name ~/.wmii-3.5 wmii -v actually shows version 3.6. So should I put new configs in another folder?

Re: [wmii] Alt+Enter doesn't work with wmii-3.5/Ubuntu 9.04
Strange..does wmii give you any interesting output on your terminal when you try to do alt+enter.. If possible, though, you should definitely try either the snapshot, or even better, the wmii from the mercurial repository though, because it was my understanding that anything 3.6 and before was very old though you may actually have a different version (to check, dont look at that config directory, use wmii -v) Also, replace all of the config files with fresh ones, to make sure that isn't the problem, if you did choose to use the mercurial repo, bear in mind that the config directories changed at one point from wmii-3.5 to wmii-hg Alex K.

Then I found out a workaround which was to first invoke an application such as gedit using Alt+P and then Alt+Enter started to work. The terminal I use is gnome-terminal but I didn't configure it myself. I also noticed that kde applications such as kate didn't help so I guess this has something to do with gnome. Any ideas what was wrong? Thanks Best, Jiangyan
