GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 588455
run application broken when setting background color set to "solid color"
Last modified: 2009-10-08 07:45:15 UTC
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398826 "Hitting Alt-F2 does not bring up the "Run application" dialog when there is a gnome panel present that has a background color set to "solid color". Changing back to "None" and logging in again is said to fix the problem."
The issue seems to be new since the 2.26.3 update
the alt-f1 shortcut is also broken
Just change it back to "None" then killall gnome-panel and restart if it doesn't automatically.
Same here
I have my panel set to have a background image and it's broken here too.

reassigning to gtk, using ld_preload on gdk 2.16 it works correctly
I've tracked this down to gdk_window_get_events() lying about the initial event mask of the root window. This causes the panel background monitor to loose the StructureNotifyMask on the root window when it does gdk_window_set_events ( monitor->gdkwindow, gdk_window_get_events (monitor->gdkwindow) | GDK_PROPERTY_CHANGE_MASK);
