Hi,

I had a similar problem this week and I could fix it.

The problem was that the gnome-flashback process didn't get started. Check via

ps aux | grep gnome-flashback

if it is running.

If it is not, this is how I could fix the problem:

Check if you have these files:

~/.local/share/applications/gnome-flashback-init.desktop

~/.local/share/applications/gnome-flashback.desktop

If yes, check if both of these files have

Hidden=true

inside.

If yes, remove that line - or better completly remove the two files, because they are redundant: You also have

/usr/share/applications/gnome-flashback-init.desktop

/usr/share/applications/gnome-flashback.desktop

which should be enough (gnome-session uses them if the on in the home folder don't exist).

The problem for me was that 

Hidden=true

made gnome-session (which should start gnome-flashback) ignore them.

Hope that helps,

Kind regards.

Matthias

My shortcuts are handled not by GNOME, but by xmonad, the window
manager that I use in place of Metacity. The problem is that the
latest version of gnome-panel intercepts "Super-t" and turns it into
"t", even though there is no such binding in GNOME settings.
