I have tested metacity 1:2.34.13-0ubuntu4.1 and while the s key now works correctly (no longer opens the Applications menu), the Super (Windows) key no longer works. For example, Windows+Tab no longer switches between application windows.
I uninstalled the trusty proposed metacity, libmetacity-private0a + metacity-common, and reinstalled the current 1:2.34.13-0ubuntu4 versions to verify that the Windows key actually did work before the proposed patch. Some may say that the Super key not working is a much smaller problem than the s key always opening the Applications menu. I'd be OK with not being able to use the Super key but maybe others would consider this a serious regression. I'll leave it to others more qualified to decide if this should be flagged as verification-done or verification-failed. My testing was done using Windows 7 Remote Desktop Connection to connect to a Ubuntu 14.04.2 machine running xrdp. The Ubuntu machine is a client vm of a VMware vSphere host. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440570 Title: VNC'ing into gnome-session-flashback (Metacity) in non-shared desktop mode causes Super+KEY pressed behavior To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/1440570/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
