Task Manager, Windows Style
Posted by ubuntufan on January 6, 2007
A lot of us (me included) that are windows expats, got used to seeing task manager by pressing the ol’ three finger salute <ctrl><alt><del>. So can we get the same functionality in Ubuntu/Gnome? (KDE has <ctrl><esc>) Below are the very simple instructions for getting it setup.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the Gnome system monitor installed (sudo apt-get install gnome-system-monitor)
The following need not be run as root….just your normal login.
gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_9 "<control><alt>Delete" gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_9 "gnome-system-monitor"
That’s it, just press <ctrl><alt><del> and you should be done.

Thank you for the pointer. Is the last item of the first command line supposed to be an apostrophe or a normal quote?

Good.
Your tutorial remind of this one I wrote I while ago.
If that was your inspiration, perhaps you could state it ?
Anyway, good site. Keep up the good work.
