Well, I have used my Super L key to function as the Expo Key ever since I starting using Ubuntu (Hardy), because to me a 'windows key' is far more useful in allowing me to zoom out to show all my desktops
But upgrading to 10.04 broke it.
Nothing I have read anywhere so far is able to fix this.
If I clear the Expo key binding from within Compiz and reset it to just the super key, pressing it once makes all my windows disappear and just shows the desktop. Pressing it again brings them back. But the Expo Key is not supposed to do this, obviously. The Expo key zooms out to show the desktops. If I rebind the expo key to 'Ctrl-0' or whatever it does as it should.
What is going on with the Super L key in 10.04??
This didn't change anything for me:
xmodmap -e "remove mod4 = Super_L
xev gives:
Code:
KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x5200001,
root 0x111, subw 0x0, time 4619735, (-297,517), root:(798,570),
state 0x40, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
*Update*
Correction --> after upgrading to 10.04 the key binding settings in my main user account were fully intact (SuperL was and still is bound to Expo Key). But in my wife's account this does not/cannot happen. When I try, the little grey box that shows the key binding immediately changes to 'disabled'. Marvellous. Prehaps if I can somehow apply my account settings to be system wide as the default for all accounts, then this could fix it?
