Desktop keybindings

[Antonio Memo]

Hi,

i'm trying to use global keybinds in Gnome/Metacity in order to
improve my desktop experience (especially when i'm out with the
notebook and no external mouse).

The problem is i can't read them. If i open the dialog in the
preferences to view and modify the bindings i'm presented with a list
of keycodes instead of keystrokes.

That launching the browser app correspond to an ununderstandable 0xb2.
Getting the volume up is 0xb0. Down is 0xae, and so long.

I'm in breezy and this mess appeared much time ago, possibly switching
from warty to hoary. I may be forgot a required step for preparing X
to the upgrade, or i don't know.

Any suggestion to revert to a saner situation? Could someone kindly
point me to a readable list of default values for Gnome keybindgs?

Thanks in advance.
Antonio
