*bump* any luck? This is my number one beef with compiz at the moment.
I can't find anything in the regular Application Switcher for this either.
System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts
Click on Launch Email Client
Hit the Win key + M to try and map it
My display went inverted (as if id installed some theme that inverted the...
I just did a clean install/format to Jaunty. Everything was working fine for a day, and then I apt-get 'ed Wine. I closed/reopened firefox and noticed most of my fonts in firefox were all screwed...
So I'm going to be springing for a new tablet PC (toshiba most likely) in the next couple weeks. I'd really like to stick to using Ubuntu; however, I know the tablet pc experience with linux is less...

The thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282248 tells me that i do not, in fact, have 3D hardware acceleration enabled. However, glxgears seems to work fine. I'm not sure at all what...
So according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282248, my Radeon Mobility is actually not doing 3D hardware acceleration - this seems to be the cause of my issues with Panda3D samples using...
I have that same issue, but I don't think it's related entirely to saving in my case. Occasionally I can save and still continue to use the macro normally. I will admit that saving greatly increases...
Is this possible? I haven't found any docs on it. Specifically what I'm looking for is C++ code folding in nano. I really prefer nano over emacs and vi, hence the query. Please don't say "just use...
