I'm running Kubuntu. Under Windows I can enable the debug menu with ctrl shift D. This isnt working under Linux, at least not for me.
Is this at all possible with the Linux client, and if so, how?
Even if it's some config setting that would be OK, because I have debug on all the time.

I'm not sure about KDE but in GNOME Ctrl + Shift + D will show the desktop by default. I had to disable that in order to run the command in SL.

In KDE you can change this combination to show the desktop by changing the "alt" key for the "meta" key; otherwise KDE has the same problem.

You have to press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + d. Note than when you read in some manuals Ctrl + Alt + D, the "D" is uppercase, not lowercase.

OK, tnx all, I will try that when I get home.
Metakey isn't an option. My good old IBM PS/2 keyboard celebrated it's 12.5th aniversary about a month ago :)
Windows 3.11 didnt use a windows key back then ;)

thanks all. It was so obvious. Ctrl alt shift d did the trick.

Hi all,

a somewhat related question:

How do i set the debug option that allows you to chose a grid in the viewer to login to at startup?

I had it set, but the viewer upgrade reset all my debug settings and now I dont remember:(

Thx.
