According to this here: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/47 it looks like it's the same shortcut for KDE4.

Re: Poll - Happy with KDE 4 or not?

Re: USB Weirdness

Next time press the second thumb drive into a different USB port (from the first thumb drive), and see if you get the same results.

Re: Cautionary backup story

Thanks for writing. I haven't yet adopted the practice of using symlinks, so your story won't apply to me. But am surprised to hear luckybackup already comes with MEPIS.
