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.
