Killing Gnome-Do resets shortcut & doesn't let Do launch at startup

[Bob Merhebi]

On several occasions I was forced to kill some applications including Gnome Do. After I kill & relaunch Gnome Do, the assigned shortcut is reset to nothing, but i get the main interface from which I could reassign the shortcut from the preferences menu.

This last time, I was not able to get the window to reassign the shortcut! No matter how many times I try, Gnome Do doesn't launch (graphically); it is running in the background.

The only way I found to circumvent this & launch the interface was to launch two instances from the terminal!
After I set the shorcut I would quit both & relaunch it as normal!

There must be an easier way to access the preferences!

Btw, I think it would be useful in such cases if Gnome Do had a cli interface or at least some options!

I think I've seen this; Do should certainly not lose its binding if it's
killed, and Do should always have a binding for summon.

I'll think more about how to handle the ‘I'd like to change the
preferences’ startup case.
