I'm using Archlinux, which provides version 4.6.2 of Xfwm4,
so I apologize if this is no more relevant.

What happens : I bind the keyboard shortcut "super m" to the maximize function.
It works juste fine.

If I reboot (or leave the session), next time the shortcut won't work.

In the configuration panel, the shortcut appears as if correctly set,
but it is not working.


Other shortcut work fine.
I tried another key cmbination : same problem.
I tried the "super m" for another shortcut : it works.

So it narrows the issue to the "maximizeé thing.

Thank you,

regards

Humm, works just fine here.

"Super" is a bit special with some keyboard mappings and is reported as
both a modifier and a regular key,  I guess this is the source of your
problem.

I don't think it's a bug in xfwm4 (as I said, works just fine here,
Fedora 13)

Strange.
I've got the "super" key mapped to other shortcut, (super v for vertical maximize e.g. ) : it works fine.
If I use this working hortcut for maximise : this one does not work.

That's why I'd say it points to "maximize" issue.

Next time I login, I'll try Alt instead of Super, I'm pretty sure I
already did that but I prefer try again.

After reboot, the shortcut doesn't work anymore, even if it appears as associated in the conf panel.

This confirms that - at least in my case, who knows why - the "maximize"
thing get disassociated after reboot, or is not correctl associated at
start.

Yet there is nothing particular to the maximize shortcut, it's just one
of the shortcuts like the others.

What gives "xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -lv" beffore and
after the reboot?

There is also a known issue with shortcuts being lost (see bug 5537).

The command gives the exact same result before and after reboot.
(I used diff to be sure)

The "interesting" line might be :
/xfwm4/custom/<Super>m                     maximize_window_key

Fun thing : I also have this line
/xfwm4/default/<Alt>F10                    maximize_window_key

But Alt F10 does not work either.

Bug 4875 reports basically the exact same issue. It is marked as a
duplicated of bug 4695. Should this bug be marked as a duplicate too?

However, bug 4695 is more about the handling of multiple entries in the
keyboard shortcut config files with the same logical function not being
ideal. This bug and I think 4875 are more about the fact that xfce is
creating a keyboard shortcut file with duplicate entries in the first
place. Hence, I'm not sure if the duplicate marking is entirely correct.

For additional details, please see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-settings/+bug/992579

There I observe that xfce itself is creating this issue (it creates a
config file with both ALT-F7 and ALT-F10 pointing at
maximize_window_key; no user editing of the config file or use of xfconf
is needed to cause this issue). Quoting from that bug:

Strange. I believe the file /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-
xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml is the default content for
.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml,
and should be copied to it when "Reset to defaults" is executed in the
XFCE settings application.

However, /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-
shortcuts.xml does NOT contain entries for both ALT-F7 and ALT-F10 being
set to maximize_window_key (it just has an entry for ALT-F10), yet
"Reset to defaults" DOES recreate this issue in the user's
.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml.
It seems like something in the application code rather than the default
settings file is causing this problem.

Same problem here, running Xubuntu 13.10.
It's been reported for almost a year, hopefully we can have some follow up?
We have to open the settings to remap the shortcut every time we reboot.
Surely there aren't only 3 people in the world who remap this shortcut?
