I would also: 1/ Check if it works from another (new, freshly created) user. 2/ Check if custom keybinding works. For instance: "/apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_1" "<Control>a" "/apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_1" "gnome-terminal" Should launch gnome-terminal when you press "Ctrl+a" Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
