Replying here to Olivier to quote the description of what I see and to
mix threads up a bit ;)
I have just looked at a 4.2 system and there I can simultaneously press
alt and f2 and it triggers the action while here with 4.3 I need to keep
the alt pressed down a bit more.
I'll have to try 4.2 on this system too - too bad dapper is already
using 4.3 ;) to make sure it is not a gdk/X issue.
Is the code similar to what you had in xfwm4?
thanks
Jani
