GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 413017
Win key behaves uncorrect
Last modified: 2007-04-16 05:56:00 UTC
Please describe the problem: Win key opens "Computer" (main menu) instead of choosen actions (e.g. third level switch) Steps to reproduce: 1. (Hardware) - Keyboard - (Belegungseinstellungen) - Third level choosers - Press right Win key to choose 3rd level or xmodmap keycode 116 = "ISO3LEVELSWITCH" (of course in the right syntax) 2. press right win key 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? yes Other information: gnome2.16.1 (opensuse10.2) control-center: (Hardware) - Keyboard - (Belegungseinstellungen) - Alt/Win key behavior - default - Add the standard behavior to Menu key - ... - ... I think, it's here, where there should be a checkbox "do nothing else, than configured by xmodmap". [also if I put in (Hardware) - Keyboard - (Belegungseinstellungen) - Third level choosers - Press right Win key to choose 3rd level the right Win key still works as Main-Menu("Computer")-Starter] (Alt/Win key behavior and Third level choosers could conflict?) [btw. Also via control-center: (Persönlich) - Shortcuts there is not said "open Main Menu by pressing right Win key".]

Could this be a SUSE thing? I cannot reproduce this at all. GNOME doesn't even use the main-menu (yet).
Interisting - I use only (open)suse - so this could be possible. (even I don't know HOW)
Maybe you could try to answer this question on the openSuse bug tracker or forums?
Have a look at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150897 and https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217044 too.
Thanks. This shows that it's indeed a SUSE thing, though you should be able to disable the behaviour using that metacity gconf key. I'll close this as NOTGNOME. Werner, you might want to add your spin of things to bug 150897. FWIW, I consider that approach fairly broken...
