Description

Keyboard shortcuts that use "exotic" keys need to be redefined after every login in to start working.

  1. Go to Settings -> Settings Manager -> Keyboard -> Application shortcuts

  2. Set <Control>``<Alt>2 to "setxkbmap -layout lt"

  3. Set <Control>``<Alt>aogonek to "setxkbmap -layout us" (aogonek is 1 on us keyboard.

  4. Both shortcuts work.

  5. Log out, log in -> <Control>``<Alt>2 works but <Control>``<Alt>aogonek doesn't until redefined again (although it is present on the list of shortcuts).

Similarly, <Control>``<Alt>t works just fine but XF86Tools has to be redefined upon every log in. It looks like every shortcut that uses "exotic" keys has the problem.

Moreover, this might be related, another bug or intentional behaviour but every time a shortcut, that is identical to the original, is defined on the aforementioned menu the entry disappears altogether.

I'm using Xubuntu 10.10 and Xfce 4.8
