OK, I've heard from the guy who opened this bug and he never solved it (he did a fresh 9.10 install)
So, some more information about it from me (sorry about my earlier "me, too!" post): Background The behaviour of the Keyboard Preferences dialog shown above is that sections are shown in normal font, and when their setting is changed away from default the heading for that section turns bold to show that a change has been made. When the settings are changed back to default the heading goes back to normal font. Expected Behaviour Select System/Preferences/Keyboard/Layouts/Layout Options... Open "Alt/Win key behaviour" Click "Default" Bold heading removed as default setting is restored Actual Behaviour Bold heading remains and default setting is not restored Note Changing other settings back to default results in the expected behaviour. In my instance the setting is locked to "Control is mapped to Alt keys, Alt is mapped to Win keys" which is bad for me as my laptop (X31 ThinkPad) does not have any Win keys! So i am currently without Alt keys so can not do Alt+F2, Alt+F4 etc. The preference for this setting is stored at: ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/%gconf.xml I have tried trashing this preference from a root/recovery console, using gconf-editor and the setting still persists. Either it's stored somewhere else or there's a bug in the dialog for that particular preference. Any thoughts? I am happy to help with any answers to figure this one out. -- gnome-keyboard-properties : won't set back to defaults https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431144 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
