Description Frank Hellenkamp 2006-08-03 11:48:41 CEST 
It is not possible to assign a shortcut with "Mod4" in the keyboard settings. If you try to assign "Ctrl+Alt+Mod4+e" for example, you only get "Crtl+Alt+e". In the  Windows Manager keyboard settings dialog it works as expected.

But you can edit your keyboard settings manually ("~/.config/xfce4/shortcuts/my.xml" for example) you can add a "+Mod4", then reload the keyboard configuration and it works as expected.

Sounds like a Gtk/Gdk bug to me. Which version of gtk do you have ?
Comment 2 Frank Hellenkamp 2006-08-03 23:57:40 CEST 
x11-libs/gtk+ 2.8.19
Comment 3 Jean-François Wauthy editbugs 2006-08-04 09:06:55 CEST 
you should try upgrading gtk+ to version 2.10.x
Comment 4 Frank Hellenkamp 2006-08-04 19:27:11 CEST 
i have upgraded gtk to 2.10.1. 
the keyboard assignment works as expected: now using "Super" instead of "Mod4".
thanks for your help.
