I don't know if this is related or a separate bug: Shortcuts whose non- control key (i.e. number or letter) differs from default (LANG=C ?) keyboard layout go out of work after reboot and also differ when used via VNC. Steps to reproduce:
* Use Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (precise pangolin) that is installed with a quertz keyboard layout, i.e. german 105 keys nodeadacute. maybe it would also work to change the keyboard layout to quertz and reboot, can't test that here. * Pick a shortcut with a key that differs from qwerty, i.e. Super+z. If it is already defined or its counterpart in quertz (in this case, Super+y), remove them and reboot. * Open a terminal, type Super+z, Super+y. Notice the "zy" appering in your terminal. * (optional bonus) Connect via VNC, Super+z, Super+y, adds "zy" in terminal. * In xfce4-settings-manager -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts, define Super+z = xmessage zZzZz. * Go to your terminal, type Super+z. Notice the xmessage popping up and no additional "z" in your terminal. Super+y still inputs "y". * (optional bonus) Connect via VNC, type Super+z, notice a z in your terminal and no xmessage. Type Super+y, notice a short loss of input focus on your terminal (cursor block going hollow for a moment) but no y added and no xmessgae popping up. * Reboot. * Open a terminal, type Super+z, Super+y. Notice same effects as in previous VNC bonus: z added to command line, y causes short loss of focus, no xmessage. * (optional bonus) Connect via VNC, type Super+z, xmessage pops up. Type Super+y, "y" is added to command line.
