Bug Description

Binary package hint: xfce

The meta keys commonly commonly called "windows" keys are not recognized in the keyboard settings gui, when entering shortcuts for custom commands.

Steps to reproduce

start keyboard settings:
$ xfce-setting-show keyboard

go to tab shorcuts,
add a new shortcut.

Pressing the left and right windows keys has no effect in shortcuts combinations.

however: if the key names (SuperL and RuperR) are entered manually in the shortcut file under ~/.config/xfce4/shortcuts/shortcutfile.xml
shortcuts are recognized correctly

this is fixed in edgy because gtk 2.10 supports the Super modifiers which the windows key are usually mapped to. Not fixable in dapper.
