Bug Description

Nothing happens on pressing Alt-F2 - I am expecting to get the run window to type a command. It used to work just fine in natty and is documented as working in oneiric.

In the system settings for keyboard shortcuts I can find a category of System and description of "Show the run command prompt" with it set to "disabled". I can't change that to anything else no matter what key combinations I press.

I believe this is a duplicate of bug 856884. I posted a simple workaround there, until this can be really fixed.
