Great comment, Sam. This is getting complicated. Can I propose a simple solution?
In comment 103 of this I described the original upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165343 The maintainer insist it's fixed but I disagreed, so I opened another against libgnomekbd as per his suggestion: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579658 Neither one seems to have gone anywhere. PROBLEM: We can't bind-meta key combinations out of the box without changing configuration and getting unpleasant side-effects. OBSERVATION: Compiz' CCSM tool captures the right keys perfectly out of the box. SOLUTION: Delete the code in GNOME keyboard settings and replace it with CCSM code. Perhaps I'm overlooking some huge technical complexity here, and maybe God kills a kitten every time the CCSM code is run, but really... it better be a big kitten for us not to use it. I'm sure the right fix involves patching libgnomekbd and blah blah blah but life is too short. And 4 years of open bug is too long. -- Cannot use Windows key in keyboard shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12153 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
