Priority set to 'low' because the bug is a cosmetic/usability issue that does not limit the functionality of a non-core application.

This is implemented by gnome- settings-daemon through its xrandr and media-keys plugins. The rationale for using this keybinding is that it is used by modern versions of Windows and that Microsoft has been encouraging manufacturers to remap their dedicated mode switch key sequences (e.g. Fn+F7 or similar) to the Windows+P key sequence. So not supporting the sequence can also cause the dedicated mode switch sequence to fail. Some information on this behaviour can be found here: http://mjg59.livejournal.com/121851.html When using Unity, the key sequence just brings up the side bar briefly. I think Unity should either perform the video mode switch (possibly by invoking the method on g-s-d's xrandr plugin), or pass the keypress though so that it can be handled by g-s-d.
