I have long had a Super+L shortcut to lock the display. In 12.04 it works when I first set it, but log out and log in or reboot and it quits working. It is still listed, so I set it to something else then set it back to Super+L and it works again.
My workaround, I have a script set to auto start when I log in. In that script I have this and now my Super+L works when I need it: # for some reason it seems to forget this binding after a reboot # https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Keybindings ( sleep 30 gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screensaver '<Super>l' ) & -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991873 Title: Some custom keyboard shortcuts don't function in new sessions Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have historically had three custom keyboard shortcuts: gVim: Alt+F12 System Monitor: Shift+Ctrl+Escape Python: Alt+F6 Since updating from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04, while the System Monitor shortcut continues to function, the two Alt+F[n] shortcuts do not function regularly. All three are apparent in System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts; if I select one of the two dysfunctional shortcuts and either clear it or change it to something else, and then change it back, it begins to work. However, when I log into a fresh session or restart the machine, the shortcut becomes dysfunctional once more. Additionally, attempted invocation of either of the dysfunctional key combinations in a terminal renders the control sequence, passed through (as ^[[17;3~ or ^[[24;3~). This gives credence to my notion that the shortcuts had not been taken by something else (which would give an excuse for their registration failing).
