My apologies, I didn't realize the window manager would have an effect on how the keyboard is interpreted. I will raise a bug with the Beryl project as well.
I've turned off Beryl completely and after restarting gdm I get a slightly improved behaviour: xev now reports Super_L for the Windows key, but when I try to bind it in "Keyboard Shortcuts" it just says Super_L - I'm not able to combine it with other keys as a modifier. gconftool-2 still shows the same output as reported above. gnome-window-properties indicates that Alt is bound to the move action, and I am able to move windows with the Alt key. If I switch it to Super I am not able to move windows with the Super key (or the Alt key). Thank you for your help, Daniel -- Windows Key gets mapped as "Select" rather than "Super" https://launchpad.net/bugs/67781 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
