Hello Again;

I started using 11.04 but I found that I had messed up the "official"
keyboard shortcuts for my liking and I would like to use the default
so that I can use other's computers.
Is there a dumbed down/gui way to reset these to default? If not,
would it be appropriate to file it as a bug?

I found suggestions on the forums but given it means going to hidden
folders just thought I might ask (if they are hidden I guess there is
a reason?)

 I create a new user, went to ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals, copy
the directory keyboard and later paste it in my original user. it
works :)

This might not work (and is sort off a 'last resort' approach) so
you'll want to backup your entire ~/.gconf folder before trying this.
Note that I haven't actually tried this myself.

If you want to reset the keyboard shortcuts remove the directories
global_keybindings, keybinding_commands, window_keybindings from the
directory ~/.gconf/apps/metacity and logout/login (not necessary
persé, but it sure is the easiest route).
