I have no solution for this problem, but I thought it would be the right
place and time to report that metacity in Debian, since the
gtk3-version, has also removed its custom keybindings, so the Alt-F1
shortcut for calling, for example, "lxpanelctl menu" to pop up the LXDE
panel menu, will not work there anymore either. There's quite a number
of users who now miss this feature and would like to go back to the gtk2
version where this shortcut still worked.
Metacity is the fallback window manager in Knoppix when compiz does not
work because of missing 3D support in the graphics drivers. While compiz
offers custom keybindings, metacity doesn't anymore. I wonder why this
was removed, there is just one changelog entry mentioning the removal,
but no apparent reason for this. Maybe someone here can come up with an
explanation?
