Why is this not fixed if all it takes is to remove a horribly written patch?
Precise 12.04 still has this behaviour. Basically, right now there are only two very ugly fixes: either turn off xrandr support or media-keys. The first is unacceptable if you use multiple monitors (me) and the second if you use media keys (me). So someone that needs both (me) has a big problem. This forced shortcut caused me a ton of troubles and wasted time. Just because there is broken hardware out there does not mean you should force a broken fix down everyone's throat. Please someone revert this horrible patch. In case someone wants to know how to disable xrandr | media keys: 1) install dconf-editor 2) uncheck "activate" in org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins -> media-keys | xrandr -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694910 Title: Regression: patch to bug 539477 breaks Super+P keybindings Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Won't Fix Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon The current patch to bug 539477 breaks the super+p keybinding for all user applications when running gnone-settings-daemon. This behavior is hard-coded, not discoverable, and not configurable. The "workaround" is to disable parts of xrandr such that screen switching is no longer possible. The patch has been checked in and released as a bugfix to Ubuntu 10.10, causing regressions in several applications.
