Open the program 'gconf-editor' (located under System Tools as Configuration Editor) and browse to /apps/metacity/global_keybindings There's a set of keys in there named run_command_n for n from 1 to 12. Pick an unused one (they're probably all unused) and set the value to some key sequence. You can look at some of the other keybindings in there to see the format. Now go to /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands There are 12 keys of the form command_n. Pick the corresponding one, and type in your command. It should now work. > #2. How do I get Gkrellm to automatically load on all > desktops and not be focusable? There's a GNOME configuration plugin for GKrellM. Look at the very bottom of the page of http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/Plugins.html I don't remember what things it lets you configure. It may not be able to put the window on all workspaces, but it looks like you've already got that handled with Devil's Pie. I think it can make it not focusable and not in the window list. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
