[Bug 454337] [NEW] Some keyboard shortcut combinations do not work

[Richard Griswold]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xfce4-settings

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System
-> About Ubuntu.

"lsb_release -rd" output:

Description:    Ubuntu 9.04
Release:        9.04

(This is Xubuntu)

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.

"apt-cache policy" output:

xfce4-settings:
  Installed: 4.6.0-1ubuntu2
  Candidate: 4.6.0-1ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 4.6.0-1ubuntu2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen

1. Open keyboard configuration (Applications→Settings→Keyboard or "xfce4-keyboard-settings" from terminal).
2. Switch to "Application Shortcuts" tab
3. Click "Add" button
4. Enter command in "Shortcut Command" dialog and click "OK" button
5. Press Super_L (left "Windows" key) and Space (or Super_L and Esc) in "Command Shortcut" dialog
6. Command shortcut dialog closes
7. New command shows up in shortcut list with shortcut set to "<Super>Space" or "<Super>Esc"

4) What happened instead

After command shortcut dialog closes, the new command does not show up
in the shortcut list.  If the shortcut already exists and I try changing
the shortcut to <Super>Space or <Super>Esc, the shortcut key combo does
not change.  I can use Super with all other keys I've tested, such as
letters, numbers, arrows, symbols, modifiers (shift, control, alt,
etc.), print screen, pause, etc.  If these two key combinations cannot
be used for some reason, the application should display a notice when I
try using them instead of silently failing.
