No Run Dialog after pressing ALT + F2

Hello,

Sinds yesterday the run dialogbox doesn't show up anymore after pressing ALT + F2.
I know that i can add a button to the gnome panel to start the run dialog but i just hope that i can restore the ALT + F2 key combination.
i searched in the gnome configuration editor and there it's still ok "run_Key = <ALT>F2".
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that i installed xbindkeys yesterday, but i removed it again and it still doesn't work.
Can somebody tell me how to restore this odd behavior.......... thanks

I don't know if this applies, but do you use compiz fusion?  Because since the most recent update, you have to select enable gnome compatibility for the Alt+F2 function to work normally.

ha beautiful.  Did a reinstall of arch earlier in the week with ext4 file systems and found myself with the same problem as Nick.

overlooked the compiz fusion option, thanks for pointing that one out!
