I also just upgraded, this time to natty, and the same thing happens. >From the console, I start vnc server with default settings. This in turn launches x-window-manager, which was set to metacity. When I connect with the desktop viewer, the "d" key is mapped to "show desktop". Also, since I am using xfce4, I can't get to the keyboard shortcuts to change this.
The workaround is to not use metacity, and update the alternatives to use xfwm4: $ sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager here are 4 choices for the alternative x-window-manager (providing /usr/bin/x-window-manager). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ * 0 /usr/bin/metacity 60 auto mode 1 /usr/bin/metacity 60 manual mode 2 /usr/bin/twm 40 manual mode 3 /usr/bin/wmaker 50 manual mode 4 /usr/bin/xfwm4 60 manual mode Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 4 update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/xfwm4 to provide /usr/bin/x-window-manager (x-window-manager) in manual mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670167 Title: metacity 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu1: 'd' key mapped to "show_desktop" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/670167/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
