On fedora 16 I've installed yakuake, and when I hit F12 ( default keybind ) the terminal retracts, but on hitting F12 again it won't deploy down. Does anyone have a thought as to why F12 isn't being processed properly?

One weird effect that I've seen is that when I hit F12 with a konsole open a tilde is generated on the command line. I've looked at the keybindings for kde & for konsole and nothing is bound to F12.

I'm going to rebuild from source and see if that fixes the issue. – Andrew Scrivner Feb 9 at 6:24
KDE4 on Fedora16 -- cmake 2.8.7 is buggy and yakuake cannot be built at the moment. – Andrew Scrivner Feb 9 at 15:43

I just had this problem now, and I had a bunch of shells still running that I didn't want to lose. Here's what I did; you can probably find a cleaner way:

  • Run /usr/bin/qdbusviewer (ships with qt-x11)
  • Scroll down to org.kde.yakuake on the left hand side of the "Session Bus" tab, click it
  • On the right side, navigate to:
    • yakuake/
      • MainWindow_1/
        • com.trolltech.Qt.QWidget
          • Scroll down to "Method: show" and double-click it.

Yay! Doing this made yakuake regain its sanity (i.e. F12 works once again).
