Sol 10 on an Ultra60.  Very recent Recommended/Security patch set.

I can't get the gnome-keybinding-properties applet to work.  I invoke
it with Launch -> Applications -> Desktop Preferences -> Desktop
Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts, then highlight "Switch to
workspace 1" and press Alt+1.  This action should map Alt+1 to (duh)
"Switch to workspace 1" but in fact nothing happens at all.  If I
click the "New" or "Edit..." buttons in the applet, nothing happens
for those, either.  Is this a known problem?  Is there a workaround?

select the whole line, select the shortcut-field and
press your new shortcut.
