Description Johannes Berg 2012-06-15 09:35:39 UTC 
Using <super> for shell shortcuts seems to work now, e.g. I use <Super>Tab instead of <Alt>Tab.

However, now it's impossible to use <Super> for custom shortcuts. I want to have <Super>t to start a new terminal, and I always had that until the upgrade to 3.4 broke it -- due to no longer reading the metacity gconf entries presumably -- but adding them back manually doesn't help... they're not executed.

Maybe this bug should be against gnome-settings-daemon instead.

Confirm this bug too. I tried to map <Super>E to open Nautilus(shame on me, bad habit) in keyboard settings, it maps but doesn't get executed when I press the shortcut. Archlinux 64bit, GNOME 3.4.2.
