Alt-f2 Run Command Dialog Fix - Beryl

There is a known problem with not being able to use the alt-f2 key combination to start the run command dialog in SuSE if you are running Beryl. I ran across this work-around at the Beryl forums that works. Enjoy

Go into Beryl settings manager
Disable 'Run dialog' from General options -> Bindings.
Then add a custom command in General options -> Commands, the command is

dcop kdesktop KDesktopIface popupExecuteCommand

And choose super + F2 to execute it.

You can do the same with KMenu, (which is supposed to open with the alt-F1 key combo, but often does not while running Beryl)
Disable 'Show Main Window' from General options -> Bindings.
Then add a custom command in General options -> Commands, the command is

dcop kicker kicker showKMenu

And choose super + F1 to execute it

Note - for those of you unfamiliar with the 'super key', it is the windows/Start key, at least it is on my keyboard.

Thanks for this tip! Works for Compiz, too. This was driving me crazy.
