Go into the settings panel. Find 'Input' along the top and click it. You'll see 'Edge Bindings', then 'Key Bindings' and 'Mouse Bindings'. Choose one of 'Key Bindings' or 'Mouse Bindings'. Let's pretend you're going to set up a key binding, using the key combo of Super ( Windows key ) and S. Hit 'Key Bindings'. In the window that appears, hit the 'Add' button. A dialog will appear, asking you to 'Press a key combination'. Hit Super ( Windows ) and S keys together. Now, go immediately to the right-hand column ( Action ), and scroll down almost to the bottom, to the 'Window: State' section. Select 'Shade Up Mode Toggle' and hit 'Apply'. Now try it - point at a window, and hit Super+S. It should shade. Everybody wins :) Key + Mouse bindings rock. > If I right click on gthumb title bar, I get the gtk menu which doesn't > know what shade is, so it's not there. > I have to alt right click, and guess what, even there shade is gone on > gthumb, but it's there on other apps. > > > ... this is not a bad thing.

You have to keep in mind - open-source software doesn't have a massive marketing machine behind it, and doesn't have the vendor lock-in and dodgy business practices that help keep other players on top. What works for them ( or what they claim works for them, eg consistent user experience ), won't necessarily work for open-source, and in fact it's the diversity and choice that keeps people like me hacking on open-source projects. Remove that, and I'd probably pack up my stuff and head to OSX ( with a heavy heart ).
