I did some digging and found some interesting results. The custom

./.gconf/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/%gconf.xml
./.gconf/apps/metacity/window_keybindings/%gconf.xml
./.gconf/apps/metacity/global_keybindings/%gconf.xml

I did not succeed in locating the default keybindings that appear to
be global for all users, but there are some because a user that has no
custom keybindings also has none of these files.

The keybindings in the last two files (the metacity files)
work. Those in the first do not.

However, if I log in as a different user, those same keybindings all
work. I compared the files and the differences are all in the order
of the entries, or just the times on those that are in the same
order.

I tried killing the gnome-settings-daemon, and it respawned just
fine, but the keys still don't work.

Oh, yes: the keybinding for a log-off shortcut never works. Period.

???

Now I am completely mystified - all the shortcuts are working again
(except the logoff, of course).

I didn't change a thing since my last login, and I have no idea what
happened.
was any package (un)installed on system ?




Weird.

Fedora is the best of what works today. Enterprise Linux is the best of
what will work consistently for the next seven years.
