Actually this seems to affect every key that is not handled directly to the target application, but indirectly (through the window-manager?), e.g. also media buttons when the associated media application window is not focused.
I also seem to have stumbled over a workaround somehow: I'm using Ubuntu Gnome here, and after installing kubuntu-desktop (during installation I selected lightdm, not gdm) and starting into KDE once (there the affected buttons didn't work either), on next login the login screen changed to KDE-style (where you can choose the UI type). After logging in to Gnome again the buttons seem to work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1404468 Title: German neo2 keyboard layout: no ALT and SUPER keys To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/1404468/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
