Public bug reported:
Unity forbids the "Windows Key" from being used in shortcuts
(LP#950160). However, the gnome-control-center keyboard shortcut
application will happily allow users to try to assign keyboard shortcuts
that use this key combination.
gnome-control-center should not allow keys to be assigned that cannot
possibly work. The user must be made aware in some fashion that the
desired setting is impossible.
Launch the control center; select Keyboard. Select Shortcuts. Select any
function (calculator?). Hit Windows+d to assign. Note the assignment
"worked". Try your key. It won't start the calculator.
Thanks
