Bug Description

Unlike Ubuntu, "Keyboard Preferences -> Shortcuts" in Xubuntu does not accept a keyboard binding to keys not detected by xorg. This has fixed in upstream in trunk at http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2503 . I hope it can be merged into feisty.

yes, if upstream does not backport those changes to the 4.4 trunk we may still apply them in feisty. Have you tried this feature from svn? We are more likely to add patches from upstream svn if they are tested and found really useful.

I just patched xfwm4 and xfce4-mcs-plugins 4.4.0-0ubuntu1 by revision 24971 and 24969 respectively. It works very well.

The xfce-mcs-plugins package missed changes on shortcuts_plugin.c from upstream. I've attached the correct patch.
