Description Ferk 2009-07-02 10:31:36 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The configuration set up in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (particularly keybinding) is being
overridden by nautilus.
It's not possible to use the custom keymap set by the user for gtk
applications.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (or ~/.gtkrc.mine if it's being imported)
2. Add this line (or any other gtk keybinding related):
   gtk-key-theme-name="Emacs" 
3. Reload gtk configuration or restart the GNOME session.
4. Open nautilus 
5. Press the keybindings associated (in the Emacs key-theme for example, Control+A should move the cursor to the beginning, and Control+P and Control+N should move it up and down)

Actual results:
The keybindings do not work, or are overridden by default bindings.

Expected results:
The user defined bindings should take priority over the default bindings of the
application.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
This problem actually happens for a lot of other GNOME applications, isn't
GNOME supposed to use and follow GTK?
Comment 1 Ferk 2009-07-02 11:45:10 UTC 
Sorry, I should have probably used "/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme" instead, but it's still don't workint for nautilus anyway.

Change steps 1-3 for this to reproduce the error:
1. execute:  gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme Emacs --type string

Most of the other GNOME applications (gedit, epiphany, etc) seem to be using the gtk-key-theme correctly now. But nautilus keeps overwritting the key theme.
