Build 20030206 (RC0)
Linux-GTK

I can't manage to switch views using the keyboard. Pressing Ctrl+F7 does
nothing (possibly a conflict with a build-in KDE shortcut?), so I added Alt+,
as the shortcut.

When I press the keys, the view menu appears but there's no way to actually
select a view. As soon as I release the keys, the menu disappears and if I
try pressing the up/down arrows with while the menu is open, nothing happens.

so your acccelerator is Ctrl+Alt+F7 ?
by "menu" you mean the dialog listing all views ?

Sorry. No, I meant I added "Alt+," (it was the first sequence in the menu) as
a key binding.

It looks like a menu to me. But I mean the "thingy" that is supposed to pop up
when you press Ctrl+F7 to switch views. :)

I reported two bugs here:
1. Ctrl+F7 doesn't work at all in KDE.
2. A different keybinding doesn't work either (the dup of 31051).

Do you want to reopen this bug for Ctrl+F7 or should I add the Ctrl+F7 issue
to Bug 31051?

Yes, I agree. We should have different binding for Linux.
Reopening and assinging to CM.
