Did you check the Keyboard Shortcuts preferences window? Are the
broken shortcuts still listed there, or have they really been
disabled? If they're still showing, do they work if you redefine
them to some
version of
JDS3... if it's the Linux version, which was based on SuSE, you might
try to track down a newer metacity package and see if it will install
(IIRC SuSE 8.2 packages worked best on JDS3). I doubt it will
install without upgrading some other dependencies as well, though,
