gnome 3 changing applets impossible, also with <Alt>

[21m0n]

Hi,
I have Ubuntu 11.10 with gnome 3 and can't change, move or remove any applets. I know, that the Alt-key must me pressed, while clicking with the right mouse button on it, but this doesn't help.
I've also tried to change the keyboard modifier key for metacity in gconf-editor. That also didn't change anything.
Any ideas?

Try this:
1. If you don't already have dconf-tools, install it with
sudo apt-get install dconf-tools or from the Soft ware Center by searching dconf-editor
2. Open your dash and search dconf and open it.
3. Go to desktop -> unity -> panel and edit the systray-whitelist to your liking.
Hope it helps!

I've set the systray whitelist to "all", using


gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"but it didn't help. I've logged out and in again. The value "all" also appears right in dconf-editor now.

With Gnome3 you mean "Unity, Gnome-shell or Gnome-fallback"?

With Gnome-fallback you can use alt+right click

ok, I wasn't specific: of course gnome-shell. I thought Alt+rightmouse also works for gnome-shell, top panel. So does that mean, you can't add, move or change anything in the gnome-shell top panel? :(

edit: in fallback mode it works, but I didn't want to use that, because I couldn't get compiz as the default window manager there.

You can't add, move or change anything in the gnome-shell easily no.

There are some ppa's with extensions
