Furthermore, since many users will only see these messages coming from gnome-shell:
Window manager warning: Overwriting existing binding... (I know it's the most common message because I read all the bug reports and peoples' logs) then it's natural we will associate that message with anything that's gone wrong. But it doesn't mean that message is related to what has gone wrong. If your system is frozen and doesn't recover then this is most definitely the wrong bug for you and you should open a new bug. If the system just stutters a bit then I think comment #21 might explain that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1857392 Title: Window manager warning: Overwriting existing binding of keysym 37 with keysym 37 (keycode 10).
