An update to my last comment; After killing the gnome-settings-daemon, the custom shortcuts begin working *for the remainder of the session*. Logging out or rebooting resets the behavior, until gnome-settings- daemon is killed again.

However, with 12.04, if you set a shortcut with Super, it simply does not work. There is no error message; it just doesn't do anything. To duplicate: First, ensure that zenity is installed (it should be, by default). Second, create the shortcut: 1. System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts 2. Press "+". 3. Name: Test 4. Command: zenity --info --title='Test' --text='Testing shortcuts' 5. Apply. 6. Click on "Disabled". 7. Press Ctrl-Alt-M Third, test it: 1. Press Ctrl-Alt-M 2. A dialogue displays. 3. Close the dialogue. Fourth, use the Super key: 1. Click where it says "Ctrl-Alt-M" 2. Press Ctrl-Super-M Fifth, test it again: 1. Press Ctrl-Super-M 2. Nothing happens. What should happen: A dialogue displays.
