** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config

- Seems that, although mapped correctly, the Super key no longer works as
- a modifier key in keyboard shortcuts for Gnome/Gtk apps.

  Steps to test
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  1) Open gedit
  2) Go to Edit > Preferences > Plugins and enable the Snippets plugin
  3) Click 'Configure Plugin'
  4) In the Snippets manager, create a new snippet under 'Global'.
-     Enter your name in the 'Edit' box. 
-     In 'Tab trigger' field, type the letter n. 
-     Click the Shortcut key field, and then hold down the Super (Win) key and n. Shortcut assigned should read 'Super+N'.
-     Close the Snippets manager and the Preferences dialog.
+     Enter your name in the 'Edit' box.
+     In 'Tab trigger' field, type the letter n.
+     Click the Shortcut key field, and then hold down the Super (Win) key and n. Shortcut assigned should read 'Super+N'.
+     Close the Snippets manager and the Preferences dialog.
  5) Create a new document. In the editor, type the letter n and hit the tab key. You should see your name appear. That means the snippets are working.
  6) In the editor, hold the Super key and then hit the n key. You should simply see the letter n.
  
  Additional details
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Have tested this on both Kubuntu 10.04 and UNR 10.04. On both machines, the shortcut keys above worked as expected in K/Ubuntu 9.10, but broke upon upgrade to 10.04 (one machine was upgraded, one fresh-installed).
  
  Have also installed openSUSE via Virtualbox to test this, and it works
  as expected there, so I've got to assume it's an Ubuntu-specific
  problem. FWIW, the output of xmodmap and xev testing are basically
  identical across all three systems.
