On my KDE 4.8.4 desktop, just recently upgraded (Ubuntu 10.04 --> 12.04) things work perfectly. Any setting that I can look at that controls this? Stewart

Long story--because of a crash (involving the systray? as reported here...?) I had discovered that CTRL + F8 and CTRL + F10 weren't working. When I dug around to find out why, I think I set it back to "show independent widget set" and got the warning that this function had been disabled due to a crash (and that's when I think I lost the CTRL + F12 function; but again not sure, as I didn't immediately check). But it's working now. Thanks. Stewart
