Xfce shortcut problems after today's updates

Xfce shortcuts defined in keyboard settings doesn't work at all, even the default ones like alt+f2. They were still working in the morning, but they stopped after today's updates. I think it has something to do with kbd package, but I can't honestly say.

Anyone experiencing something similar?

Re: Xfce shortcut problems after today's updates

Most probably you need to logof, go into the console and wipe anything related to xfce on your home folder and start xfce again. Its a pain to get everything as you want again but at least you avoid problems like the one you have now.
You may also see a problem with the icons, just pull tango-icon-theme and all will be well.

Re: Xfce shortcut problems after today's updates

Hello, this may be getting a bit redundant now but I wanted to write down the simplest solution. To get keyboard shortcuts working again, all I had to do was delete the following file:

~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml

Then log out and back in and shortcuts work again.
