I have long had a Super+L shortcut to lock the display. In 12.04 it works when I first set it, but log out and log in or reboot and it quits working. It is still listed, so I set it to something else then set it back to Super+L and it works again.

In that script I have this and now my Super+L works when I need it: # for some reason it seems to forget this binding after a reboot # https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Keybindings ( sleep 30 gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screensaver '<Super>l' ) & -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991873 Title: Some custom keyboard shortcuts don't function in new sessions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/991873/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
