You need to install gconf-editor. Then, open gconf-editor and edit apps >> metacity to your liking.

Why not just download the search engine you want from http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?

You're using Mate? If so, install gconf-editor and open it. You can then customize "apps>metacity" to your liking.

Cinnamon lacks the panel launchers, so it's not very efficient. MATE has panels, so that's the way I go. How it looks doesn't matter so much to me, as long as it works and is FAST. One click should be all that's needed to launch often-used programs, so the panels is the right place for the icons; t...

I added a new shortcut in Keyboard Shortcuts to launch mate-calc with the X86Calculator (or whatever the key is). This disables the default binding. Is that what you did? It should work.

Did you reboot and append a 3 to the kernel line in grub? It may work in recovery mode, as well. Try to re-run the nvidia installer that way. It works on my SL system, anyway.

Laptop: LMDE Mate

Desktop: SL 6.2

Both 32-bit PAE, so my wife's flash games work properly.

I just installed LMDE and really like it. However, I can't get these two keys to work. Alt+F1 to open menu Alt + F2 to open run dialog I've already spent 4 hours trying to figure it out but no luck. Thanks, I have the same issue. I have not figured out the Alt+F1, but I never use that. As a workaro...
