[Bug 950160] Re: Unity blocks other programs from binding globally to Super+* or Alt+* (* = any key)

 

Thank you, James!

I tested your workaround on some machines from different vendors, which
used to have this super+p issue.  I confirm that it can fix the problem.

The comment above is contrary to Daniel's comment in #55.  James may be
right that whichever starts later gets to grab the event.

I am not sure if there is any side effect to start gnome-settings-daemon
in the "Application" phase, which seems to be a bit late.  Since we only
want to start g-s-d after compiz, which is started in "WindowManager"
phase.  timchen119 suggested to start it in the "Panel" phase, which is
the next phase after "WindowManager" phase.  So I also tested machines
with that line changed to:

X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=Panel

So far everything works fine.
