What were you doing when the application crashed?
Trying to change the keyboard shortcut using the Right-hand Windows "Super" key, then, when it didn't work, trying to revert to the standard Alt-<F3>.

After this problem occurred there seemed to be several shortcut keys stored, each of which would start the Deskbar. Unfortunately I'd managed to set one of these to be the <Return> key which made things very awkward! It didn't seem to be detecting the modifier keys (Shift, Alt, etc.) after I'd tried to use the right-hand Windows "Super" key.

My solution was to remove the Deskbar from the panel and add it back in, whereupon the shortcut key problem sorted itself out and I could change it back to the standard Alt+<F3>.
