The difference seems to be that the shortcut for launching the terminal is set in gconf setting /apps/metacity/global_keybindings (as is the shortcut for minimizing all windows to show the desktop, for example), while the shortcut for locking the screen is set in /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings (as is the shortcut for launching the web browser, for example).
I have the exact same problem (albeit with dapper) and in addition, the shortcut "Win+D" works for showing the desktop, while "Win+F" does not work for launching the browser, corroborating the assumption above. -- 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
