Ubuntu 10.10 & vnc4server pressing ‘D’ minimizes all windows

There's a bug in vnc4server. When you have gnome installed and you install vnc4server you'll experience it. Pressing 'D' wherever & whenever inside gnome will cause all the windows to minimize.

Change System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts; find the shortcut:

"Hide all normal windows and set focus to the desktop"

and change ‘D’ to something else.

    Still doesn't work, changed it on the box manually and via remote desktop still the same result.
