Fixing “show desktop” shortcut (hotkey) in Ubuntu 11.10.

After updating my ubuntu 10.04 installation I had to recognize that the shortcut for minimizing all windows to show the desktop has changed (It seem to be + + d after update). I don’t like that combination + d would be way better. So how to fix this?

Solving this is a real quickie:

Launch gconf-editor and browse to /apps/metacity/global_keybindings

Change the value of show_desktop from d to d.

Press enter, close gconf-editor and enjoy the results of pressing d .
