    ALT-F2 Missing in Action

    Hi All,

    I just realized that for some reason my Alt-F2 no longer brings up a launch box on my desktop machine. Hitting Alt-F2 does nothing. Cntl-Alt-F(N) still drops to consoles... Not sure what I did to break it but can't seem to fix it. Anyone run into this? I have not ungraded this machine to Jaunty yet. See config in my signature. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Best, Dave

    if you are using compiz "Desktop Effects" - keyboard shortcuts are a separate
    compiz plug-in that has to be enabled.

    Thanks asmoore82.

    I am running compiz. Can you tell me where specifically this would be enabled? I have checked under general, key bindings. There is a run dialog key binding - set to Alt-F2. I don't see any way to turn keyboard shortcuts on or off...
