f you want to enable Ctrl Alt Del to open System Monitor you have to do this 2 things:
- First of all go to System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts
- Search for "Logout" action that is under Desktop actions.
you will see that Ctrl+Alt+Del combination is associated to Logout shortcut (even if it does not work for me
)
- click on that shortcut and press Backspace if you want to disable it or choose another combination.
Close it and open the Configuration Editor (if you have installed it you will find it under Applications->System Tools or else Alt+F2 and gconf-editor)
- On left tree select: apps->metacity
- Select "Global_keybindings" and search for a "run_command_X" value where X is between 1 and 12 and it is not used (i have used run_command_9)
- Add this value: <Control><Alt>Delete
- Now select "Keybindings_commands" on left tree. Goto "command_X" where X is the same number selected in run_command_X option. (For me is command_9)
- Add this value: gnome-system-monitor
If you don't have the Gconf editor open a terminal and write this two commands:
gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_9 "<Control><Alt>Delete"
gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_9 "gnome-system-monitor"
