Hello folks,
I recently installed Amarok and I'd like to use its global shortcuts feature to play/stop the music even when its window is not active. Unfortunately under Ubuntu some of those shortcuts seem to be already bound. In particular I'm referring to Win+C, which centers the mouse cursor, and Win+V (dunno what it does, resizes the active window in unpredictable ways).

They are not used by metacity, so... does anyone know what piece of the Desktop Environment is using them and how do I disable them?

Thanks!

Have you checked if they are in the system>settings>keyboard shortcuts dialog?

Yes, I have. Those are metacity's shortcuts.
