(I realize gnome-core currently does depend on gnome-session-fallback, but at some point that could become a recommendation or suggestion, at which point the transitive metacity dependency would go away naturally.)

Right, that makes sense. The upstream bug points out that Super+key shortcuts in gnome-shell work fine, just not Super+key shortcuts in gnome-settings-daemon. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

- Can you (re)create your shortcuts?
I tried recreating my shortcuts via the Keyboard settings dialog. While
I can now set keyboard shortcuts using Super as a modifier (which
previously did not work and just treated Super_L as a key in itself),
hitting those keys does not actually invoke the desired action. I tried
setting up a custom shortcut to launch gnome-terminal, and I tried
setting the existing Launch web browser shortcut; neither one worked.
If I set the shortcuts to use a modifier other than Super, I can invoke
them. Any shortcut I set using Super does not seem to work, though the
keyboard settings dialog itself recognizes it just fine.
Just in case: same here. I'm giving gnome shell a try in a brand new
user on my work machine. I've tried to set Super+Return as shortcut to
launch gnome-terminal there. The shortcut is accepted in the
configuration window, but it doesn't work once set. If I rather try to
use a shortcut that does not involve Super, e.g. Alt+Return, it works as
expected.
(both shell and settings-daemon are at 3.4 versions)
Thanks for your work on GNOME!
Cheers.

We've been discussing, where to add a dependency on metacity-common (libmutter, g-c-c, gnome-shell) but haven't quite agreed on something yet. gnome-core already has a dependency on metacity. However, I didn't install metacity or metacity-common from experimental, so I didn't have a version of metacity-common with the gsettings schemas until May 30th. The window manager keybindings seem to show up now. Might I suggest changing gnome-core's versioned dependency on metacity to (= 1:2.34.3-2)?

I've retitled this bug accordingly, and cloned it for the other issues. None of the shortcuts I've previously set appear anywhere in the keyboard settings dialog. Were those custom shortcuts or did you just re-assign different keys to a predefined shortcut? Both; I'd defined some new custom shortcuts and also assigned keys to predefined shortcuts: ~$ gconftool-2 --config-source=xml:readwrite:/home/josh/.gconf.shared -R /apps/metacity /apps/metacity/window_keybindings: move_to_side_e = SuperRight move_to_side_s = SuperDown toggle_maximized = Superm move_to_side_n = SuperUp toggle_fullscreen = Superf move_to_side_w = SuperLeft /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands: command_1 = firefox -new-tab about:blank /apps/metacity/global_keybindings: run_command_terminal = Supern run_command_1 = Superb [...] Now that I've upgraded metacity and metacity-common, some of the shortcuts I want to set have shown up again. None of my previous settings appear to have migrated, though. - Do keyboard shortcuts not work at all?

See above, wrt. metacity-common Now that I have the proper version of metacity-common installed, shortcuts for maximize and fullscreen show up again. Shortcuts for moving windows up/down/left/right don't exist anymore, though. However, while I don't see them in the dialog anywhere, Super+left and Super+right now maximize windows to the left and right halves of the screen, which works nicely; Super+up and Super+down got mapped to maximize and restore, which work for me.
