Hi Thomas, I've tried the above in Gnome 3.16 with wily and I get the same result. Please can you file a new bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+filebug Your original e-mail can be used as the bug description. I tried the above with a simple script that sends "test" to notify-send. Using a command instead: /usr/bin/notify-send Test doesn't work. I can't see any existing bindings for Super+O either.
