remote desktop and the 'd' key

Accessing my ubuntu box from windows over remote desktop connection worked without problem. However, after some update (again?), I figured out the 'd' key was not doing what expected: it would reduce all the windows of the gnome desktop instead of just inserting a simple 'd'... not really friendly when you want to play with 'sudo' command.

After some searching, the solution is quite simple: going to 'system > preferences > shortcuts' and looking for assigned shortcuts, 'd' was one of them, responsible for reducing all windows. Removing the shortcut (or replacing it with something useful) is enough to get 'd' back alive.
