Hm, I have copied /usr/share/xfwm4/themes/default.keys/keythemerc to
~/.themes/xfwm4/custom.keys/custom.keys and edit it a bit:

shortcut_4_key=Alt+F3
shortcut_4_exec=xterm

But nothing happens. The links in ~/Desktop/Autostart/ are not executed
at startup as well. Is this caused by the fact that I start xfce unsing
gdm?

But that does not show the font of the selected gtk2-theme, does it?
