Right click not working in classic Gnome Shell Ubuntu 12.04

[hbaromega]

I have installed classic gnome shell in the Ubuntu 12.04. I'm running compiz as well with effect.

However, The top panel bar doesn't open any option after right click! I mean, options like "add/remove to panel" should have come.

Also the auto-hide option is not apparent and switching to another workspace doesn't work (when I switch, it shows a blank desktop only, without any panel).

However, these problems don't occur at all when I use the normal (without effect) gnome version.

Is there any fix?

When I googled, I found some instruction to set "/apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/auto_hide true " using gconftool. But In my system,
I couldn't find any "toplevel" subdirectory inside /apps/panel . Have I missed something to install?

Thanks a lot.

I think you need to hold down alt when right-clicking in classic gnome now to get the panel options.

Sorry, I tried that. It's still not working. :(

Try the Super or Widows key + Alt + Right Click and also check to see if the shortcut/s are activated in system settings > keyboard > shortcuts. You may have conflicting key bindings with Compiz installed.

Thanks a lot, Frogs Hair.

Super+ Alt + Right Click serves the purpose. :)

Now what about the workspace issue? I cannot get any panel when I click to another workspace. Also getting back to the original workspace becomes tricky (I get it by right clicking and then clicking on the change desktop option, which shouldn't be the standard way).

Hope a simple solution exists.

I also cannot get panels in other workspaces.

bongbong, I suggest you start your own new thread with your question. This thread is old and stagnate-- your specific issue won't be found and answered here.
