Bug Description

Nobody knows what the hex codes generated by their keyboard are, so do not
display them in the gnome keyboard shortcut preferences window. Could this be
linked with the other keyboard config work?

On my laptop, and breezy installation, Print was the default setting for a
screenshot. However, when I change the preference, but press my Print key, the
value is changed to a hex code.

This seems to have led to the following problem:

Window manager warning: "0x6f" found in configuration database is not a valid
value for keybinding "run_command_screenshot"
Window manager warning: "<Alt>0x6f" found in configuration database is not a
valid value for keybinding "run_command_window_screenshot"
Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager;
try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.

Does my print key therefore have a strange code. Sorry if the bug is in the
wrong place.
