Thank you, James! I tested your workaround on some machines from different vendors, which used to have this super+p issue. I confirm that it can fix the problem.
The comment above is contrary to Daniel's comment in #55. James may be right that whichever starts later gets to grab the event. I am not sure if there is any side effect to start gnome-settings-daemon in the "Application" phase, which seems to be a bit late. Since we only want to start g-s-d after compiz, which is started in "WindowManager" phase. timchen119 suggested to start it in the "Panel" phase, which is the next phase after "WindowManager" phase. So I also tested machines with that line changed to: X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=Panel So far everything works fine. --- For a list of GNOME session phase: https://live.gnome.org/SessionManagement/GnomeSession -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950160 Title: Unity blocks other programs from binding globally to Super+* or Alt+* (* = any key) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/950160/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
