D key showing the desktop in XRDP

After trying many remote desktop clients for Ubuntu 11.04, I finally decided to use XRDP.

But when I started using it, I encountered one (big) problem, by pressing the "d" key, all my windows minimizes and the desktop was shown. Well, for those of us who live more in a terminal window, that could be a real problem.

I've tried two solutions, I don't exactly know which of them worked (maybe both of them), but as I google it for a solution, many people seem to solve the problem with either one of them, i will include both situations here:

1 - Change in System Preferences

• Go to System-->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts
• Find the entry "Hide all normal windows and set focus to the desktop"
• Here, change the default value (the d letter) or disable it (that's what I did)

2 - Change with gconf-editor

• Open a terminal windows
• Write gconf-editor to launch the program
• Go to app --> metacity --> global key binding
• Find the "show_desktop" option
• Change the value to a different key combination or  "disabled"it.
• Close and restart (I think it is mandatory)

Well, that's all for now. I hope it would be helpful for others, too.
