Correction: one now needs to disable the media keys plugin instead of
the xrandr plugin (using dconf) to prevent <super>p being stolen. This
new fix breaks different things to before. For my machine I've
recompiled gnome-settings-daemon to get rid of the problem. If anyone
else wants to do the same, the offending shortcut is in acme.h, search
for VIDEO_OUT_KEY.

[Finding this file reminded me that media key handling used to be in a
standalone program called acme. It's a shame that gnome moved away from
providing simple standalone programs that could be taken in isolation.]

Title:
  Regression: patch to bug 539477 breaks Super+P keybindings

Status in Gnome Settings Daemon:
  Won't Fix
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

  The current patch to bug 539477 breaks the super+p keybinding for all
  user applications when running gnone-settings-daemon. This behavior is
  hard-coded, not discoverable, and not configurable.

  The "workaround" is to disable parts of xrandr such that screen
  switching is no longer possible.

  The patch has been checked in and released as a bugfix to Ubuntu
  10.10, causing regressions in several applications.
