I tried every workaround listed on this bug, sadly none of them worked. Finally I found that the problem raises when I put in ~/.profile the "export KDEWM=/usr/bin/compiz" line, used to start compiz & emerald from the start without loading KWin.
If I comment out that export line and let KWin start, then later replacing it by starting Compiz, Alt+F2 will work fine. very strange bug, I just wish there was a formal way to avoid loading KWin so there were not need to kill it after with Compiz. -- Compiz disables Alt-F2 for run dialog in KDE3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219163 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
