Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Fresh install of 9.10 karmic into VMWare running on 8.10.
Keyboard Shortcuts are mangled under 9.10 karmic. (They may be mangled
under previous releases, but I didn't ever try to use them. This is my
first try to use Gnome instead of vtwm.)
Watch this:
9.10 Karmic: Open System | Preferences | Keyboard Shortcuts.
Verfify that "Move between windows immediately | ALT+Escape" is working.
Disable it with "Backspace".
BUG: The UI shows "Disabled", but ALT+Escape still moves between windows.
At this point, the UI should show no mapping for ALT+Escape, but the
shortcut still tries to move between windows.
Map "Switch to workspace on the left of the current workspace" to
"ALT+Escape" and verify that it works (bringing up a little desktop
viewer menu that says "Desk 1").
Disable it with "Backspace".
BUG: The UI shows "Disabled", but ALT+Escape still switches workspaces.
At this point, the UI should again show no mapping for ALT+Escape, but the
shortcut still tries to switch workspaces.
Map "Move between windows immediately" to "ALT+Escape" again.
Try to use it.
BUG: It doesn't work - ALT+Escape still tries to switch workspaces.
Disable it with "Backspace".
BUG: The UI shows "Disabled", but ALT+Escape still switches workspaces.
At this point, the UI should again show no mapping for ALT+Escape, but the
shortcut still tries to switch workspaces.
Map "Switch to workspace on the left of the current workspace" to
"ALT+Escape" and verify that it works (bringing up a little desktop
viewer menu that says "Desk 1").
Map "Move between windows immediately" to "ALT+Escape". The UI warns you
that you are re-assigning the shortcut. Say "Reassign". The UI shows
that the shortcut moves from "Switch workspace" to "Move between".
Try to use it.
BUG: It still doesn't work - ALT+Escape still tries to switch workspaces.
Disable it with "Backspace".
BUG: The UI shows "Disabled", but ALT+Escape still switches workspaces.
At this point, the UI should again show no mapping for ALT+Escape, but the
shortcut still tries to switch workspaces.
Map "Switch to workspace on the left of the current workspace" to
"ALT+1" and verify that it works (bringing up a little desktop viewer
menu that says "Desk 1").
Now try ALT+Escape (which the UI shows as not being mapped).
BUG: ALT+Escape now moves between windows again, even though it doesn't
show anywhere in the UI, and wasn't mapping correctly a moment ago.
Disable "Switch to workspace on the left of the current workspace".
BUG: ALT+1 still tries to switch workspaces.
At this point, the UI should show no mapping for ALT+Escape, but the
shortcut still tries to move between windows.
At this point, the UI should show no mapping for ALT+1, but the
shortcut still tries to switch workspaces.
Map "Move between windows immediately" to "ALT+1".
Try to use it.
BUG: It doesn't work - ALT+1 still tries to switch workspaces.
ALT+Escape, which was working, even though it shouldn't,
has now stopped working and doesn't do anything.
This is unusable.
