I suffer from the same bug using compiz+unity. A workaround is to ask nautilus to draw the desktop by setting:
org.gnome.desktop.background.show-desktop-icons = true with gesettings/dconf-editor. This way the nautilus window will stay on every desktop and since it accepts the focus, keyboard events are properly handled by compiz. Note that having nautilus draw the background is the default behaviour IIRC, thus this bug might go unnoticed by most people. (it's still possible to have nautilus draw the background and not show any icon). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948371 Title: When last window on workspace doesn't accept focus, the keyboard doesn't react at any keypress To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/948371/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
