Is there a way to change the delete file shortcut key in nautilus to "del" instead of "ctrl+del", since it only moves to trash so there's no accidental loss of data anyway -- pankaj [Sun Apr 24 04:58:02]
It should be mentioned that if using gnome-session-properties, session saving ("Remember running applications when logging out") should NOT be enabled. It makes the GUI unusable on the next login (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647359 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698184 ). I'd edit the page myself but didn't understand the admon. -- robatino [Sun Apr 24 15:41:11]
