Public bug reported:
Affects: control-center gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
I'm using Dapper (installed from a recent nightly build and all packages
up to date)
I have gnome set up to use the dvoark keymap by default (The default
system keymap is US). I have the open xterm shortcut set up as crtl +
alt + q (in dvorak q corresponds to the x key). Often when I log in
this shortcut stops working. The shortcut behaves as if it is mapped in
the US layout. So if I push crtl + alt + q (where q is the us q and not
the dvorak q) the shortcut will work.
I have mapped two other custom shortcut keys (crtl + alt + w and v)
using gconftool. These also do not work. However my web browser shortcut
crtl + alt + c does work and things like alt f4 work fine.
If I open up the keyboard shortcuts menu and map open xterm to another
key and then map it back all of my shortcuts start to work.
This problem seems to happen most of the time when I log in now but not
all of the time. I haven't been able to determine what might cause it.
I don't think this problem is related to #2561 because shortcuts in
firefox and gnome terminal still work correctly. It could somehow be
related to #32860. A separate issue I have noticed that occurs at the
same time as this problem is the lock screen option from the System menu
does not work when I first log in. I can click it as many times as I
want but it won't work until I launch another application such as
nautilus or an gnome-terminal.
Here's some output I have noticed that has been requested for other
keyboard related bugs:
