I've also experienced this issue on 1 of 2 Precise systems. I noticed that on the affected system all metacity keybindings suddenly have List type (list of strings) in the schema - you can see this with gconf- editor - all key values are surrounded with [ ]. This looks completly wrong. In particular, switch_windows key binding is [<Alt>Tab]. I compared this with the other system that doesn't have the problem, and keybindings are all strings.
I checked my local user schema: pawel@pawel-VirtualBox:~/.gconf$ grep -R switch_windows * apps/gconf-editor/%gconf.xml: <stringvalue>/apps/metacity/global_keybindings/switch_windows</stringvalue> apps/metacity/global_keybindings/%gconf.xml: <entry name="switch_windows_backward" mtime="1333006464" type="list" ltype="string"> apps/metacity/global_keybindings/%gconf.xml: <entry name="switch_windows" mtime="1333040076" type="list" ltype="string"> So again, the type="list" is incorrect. I enabled metacity debugging, and it doesn't read such keybindings: ... KEYBINDINGS: Binding "switch_to_workspace_left" has new gconf value "none" KEYBINDINGS: Keybinding for "switch_to_workspace_left" is unchanged KEYBINDINGS: Binding "switch_windows" has new gconf value "none" KEYBINDINGS: Keybinding for "switch_windows" is unchanged ... Alex, could you please open gconf-editor and check the value of apps/metacity/global_keybindings/switch_windows? Then, please also do the grep test like I did above. This will confirm if we're facing the same issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/963125 Title: Alt-Tab window switcher lost To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-2d/+bug/963125/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
