Changing the Keyboard shortcuts in System->personal->Keyboard Shortcuts does not seem to be working.

Using: Gnome openSUSE 11.2

I am having troubles with getting keyboard shortcut changes to actually apply.

I just installed openSUSE for the first time and wanted to set my keyboard shortcut for starting a new terminal (Alt-X). After some google searches I found it was under Computer->Control Center->Personal->Keyboard Shortcuts, then I found two options which I was not used to:
“Open a terminal” and “Run a terminal” I changed one to Alt-X and another to ctrl-alt-x. Neither seemed to be working.

As a test I changed the “Run Application” dialog box to Alt-X and “Run a terminal” to Alt-F2. After applying the changes I found out that Alt-F2 was still opening “Run Application” and Alt-X still does nothing.

Do I need to do something else to make keyboard shortcut changes actually stick?

Thanks for any help.
