but in, for example icewm, 'm' works, as well as in GDM.

But not in Gnome (it worked before strangely).

very annoying, because
Code:

ount /boot

isn't recognized 8O

and
Code:

ake && ake odules_install

too :?

now I have to create a "m" character via OO-Writer (insert special character) and paste it in a terminal or browser or whatever.

anyone a clue about how to fix this?

ps:
I wanna keep Gnome

strange,
when I start Gnome in failsafe mode 'm' does work, but in normal mode it doesn't.

And because several scripts are omitted during failsafe mode,
it should be one of the scripts right?

Well i didn't change anything (at least not that I know off), I only added gkrellm2 as startup program.

I'll check that first.


edit:
tried it...
didn't work.... :cry:

Have you tried to reinstall Gnome?
Code:
 eerge gnoe
:lol:
Check your keyboard shortcuts somewhere in the settings, it's very easy to redefine a shortcut in Gnome
(no confirmation needed). It can be done by accident (it happend with me).

thanks,

that's a good tip, I'll check that.

On another forum someone suggested to try to login with another user, and see what happens, I did that and the 'm' worked.

So it has something to do with some user setting ( could be your shortcut suggestion), anyway, I'll try it.

I found out that resetting user settings can be done by logging in via gdm an keeping SHIFT+CTRL pressed, however that didn't work.

I'll try again soon.
