[Solved] Xfce 4.6.2 shortcuts does not work

Bonjour,
xfce4-keyboard-settings shows me that <Alt>F2 run xfrun4 or <Ctrl><Alt>Delete run xflock4 but these shortcuts doesn't work.
why ?
I am using Debian squeeze AMD64 (when using Lenny they work fine).
Merci for your answer.

Re: [Solved] Xfce 4.6.2 shortcuts does not work

Open up your system monitor and look for, "xfconfd". Or alternatively, type this into a terminal:
ps x | grep -i xfconfd

You should get more than one result. If you only get one result (grep itself), or you can't find xfconfd with your system monitor, make sure it's installed and run /usr/lib/xfconfd.

Alternatively, try resetting your shortcuts to default, changing the default shortcuts to something else, then manually changing them back and making sure no other applications are trying to use those shortcuts (compiz, for instance).

Edit: Also make sure xfce4-utils is installed.

merci for your answer.
jp@thalassa:~$ ps x | grep -i xfconfd
2335 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/xfconf/xfconfd
22146 pts/2    S+     0:00 grep -i xfconfd
When i change with « xfce4-keyboard-settings » the shortcut for xfrun4 or add  a shortcut for thunar ( F12 , fine with Lenny), the new ones doesn't work.

Well I'm out of ideas. Perhaps it's a bug in the current testing builds.

Re: [Solved] Xfce 4.6.2 shortcuts does not work

solution :
I remove « gnome-settings-daemon »
I run « xfsettingsd »
I reboot and I have the shortcuts that I want.
