Since switching to SD installs (acknowledged by Prometheus to even affect NAND setups (my own now also randomly effected)), I am seemingly afflicted by a bane to my affections for Pandora.
It's as though no matter how hard I try to create the perfect installation to showcase her potential muse, this one bug is nothing if not persistent, in its insistence of its existence, thus my resistance, requiring assistance, to bemuse it.
Basically, keyboard shortcuts for all kinds of things are good...mkay!
They free up panel space, desktop space, wizard bar space, remove the need for much menu trolling or touchscreen use etc
However they for me at least and a quiet few, don't work with any consistency.
Not an advertised feature I admit, but since the idea of them and the functionality for them does exist within xfce, it would be good to make sure they work with consistency.
Now it appears any keyboard shortcuts you make are stored here:
home>applications>settings>xfce4>xfconf>xfce-perchannel-xml>xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
but what gets loaded by accident on some boot ups is from here :
/etc/xdg/op/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
which is default and BLANK of your additions. Hence they don't work.
That much I had figured out, prior to checking the bug tracker and finding this from Lomaxx http://bugs.openpand...ils&task_id=190
Who had tracked things down to copying over the file from the user created one (that sometimes get loaded on boot) over the one that more often does (that's BLANK re shortcuts):
In my case, I cant achieve this copy over via terminal etc (probably due to file permissions, a need to own ones own home directory, mortgage stuff), SO.....
Is it possible as a potential fix to this issue, to create a simple that script that can be run after boot-time, that will copy the user created shortcuts over the booted version and take immediate effect, thus rendering a further potentially also failed reboot unrequired? Or an autobooted version to alleviate any user interaction if it fails normally?
Another user friendly option, would be a script made into an executable .desktop file with an icon (like Someguy99's 'Run Minimenu from a desktop Icon' tweak) that can be launched if it proves the reboot has failed to load the shortcut enabled file?
Guidance would be appreciated.
