To Set Keyboard Shortcut Preferences

To set keyboard shortcut preferences, you modify the values of preference keys in /apps/metacity/global_keybindings location. For example, you might want users to use only the Alt + F3 keyboard shortcut to open the Run Application dialog. To set this mandatory value, execute the following command:

# gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_run_dialog '<Alt>F3'

You can also set other keyboard shortcut preferences. For information about the other keyboard shortcut preferences, see the metacity.schemas schema definition file.
