           Summary: Keyboard shortcuts all messed up in Breezy
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
               URL: http://laniels.org/img/keyboard_shortcuts_prefs.png
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

         Component: gnome-control-center

I just upgraded to Breezy today, and now a lot of things have gone flaky. The
most straightforward to diagnose is that all the default GNOME keyboard
shortcuts are gone. See the screenshot in the URL above; you'll note how many
actions have '<ctrl><alt>' as their shortcut. I didn't do that; that's what
happened when I upgraded to Breezy. You can't see it in that screenshot, but a
great many other items have just '<alt>' as their shortcut now.

It may be that the prefs panel just isn't displaying some shortcuts, but
actually is honoring them. For instance, it lists '<ctrl><alt>' as the shortcut
to minimize all windows and focus the desktop, but the shortcut that I set up a
while ago for that -- '<ctrl><alt>d' -- works just fine.

Yet a lot of other shortcuts are screwy. Gnome-terminal used to use Ctrl+Shift+T
to create a new tab, but that keystroke now closes my terminal window and any
tabs open within it. Ditto Ctrl+Shift+V, which used to paste into gnome-terminal.

I don't know if it's related, but Openoffice.org-math2 crashes as soon as I
click on the View menu. I filed a bug there as well. I wonder if it's tied in
with general menu/shortcut badness in Breezy.

I should note that 1) Firefox's shortcuts are all fine, and 2) Straw -- the RSS
aggregator -- is messed up as well. Ctrl+R used to poll all subscribed feeds,
but now it prompts me to subscribe to a new feed.
