Found some more information. all the shortcuts that do work with Win key (i.e. run dialog, toggle maximize) exists in org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings
the others (i.e lock screen, calculator, custom:terminal) does not even show up there (there's no key which even resemble those options). but they show up just as i edited in settings>keyboard>shortcuts. Also, in the gconf data, i have alternate shortcuts and do not show up on the settings>keyboard>shortcuts. for example, toggle maximize used to be alt+f10. i changed it via the system settings dialog to Super+3. it changed alright, but instead of replacing the previous one, my gconf value now reads: ['<Super>3', '<Alt>F10'] (also, why call it Shortcuts in the UI and Key Bindings in the backend... confusing as hell to debug as i was grepping for shortcuts all the time and finding no clue) Thank you, Gabriel On Sun, Jun 10, 2012 at 11:27 AM, gabriel b <descartavel1+debian...@gmail.com> wrote: >
