I can confirm the bug on Karmic, specifically gnome-control-center
1:2.27.91-0ubuntu3. The problem, as far as I can understand -- and mind
you, this is mostly speculation -- is this:
At the time of keyboard shortcut assignment, all modifier keys and a
symbol is captured. In the non-working example above, what gets captured
is {Shift+Mod4+(}. '(' is, unfortunately, another way of saying
{Shift+9} (depending on the keyboard), so when keys get pressed at
another time, what gets compared to the shortcut above is either
{Shift+Mod4+9} or {Mod4+(}.
I guess whatever is making the comparison is case-insensitive or
something, because alphabetic keys work in Shift-combinations. *-key on
the number pad does not have a Shift-accessed secondary key, so this
works as well.
Does this seem plausible to anyone else or am I way off base here?
