After installing compiz and messing with it around i no longer have the Alt+F2 shortcut for launching things!! It seems that something with emerald must have caused the problem. Any idea? Compiz is working fine, and now i try to make screenlets work.

Re: Lost the Alt+F2 sortcut!
KDE4?
In Intrepid, I refer to Compiz as the "Alt-F2 Disabler".
I do not know how to make both Alt-F2 and Compiz run in a KDE 4.1 environment -- I think we're still awaiting a fix for it. -

Not in kde4 though... Screenlets don't work as well. Is there a bug known for 8.04 and compiz?Comment

Re: Lost the Alt+F2 sortcut!
These compiz/Alt-F2 problems go back some months, AFAIK. In this bug report is a claimed workaround -- I haven't tried it. Maybe you can try it and report on how well it works:

Re: Lost the Alt+F2 sortcut! [SOLVED]
Confirm the solution!
Launch ccsm and under the General->Key Bindings set the Run Dialog to Alt+F6. Then go to Commands Tab and set the Command line 0 to "dcop kdesktop KDesktopIface popupExecuteCommand" and set the Run Command 0 to Alt+F2. This should do the trick!!!Comment

Re: Lost the Alt+F2 sortcut!
Huh -- well, I'm glad it worked for the 8.04 system. Unfortunately, for 8.10, it's still no-go. I went over the linked instructions twice -- it just doesn't "take" here. But it didn't hurt anything, either. Maybe I'll poke around in ccsm and see if there's something else to try -- clearly Compiz is interfering with the KDE key combos.Comment
