Gnome-shell doesn't respect Custom Shortcut with Super

[Cefn]

I tried to associate a custom shortcut of Super + L and it was accepted without complaint by the Keyboard Shortcut Settings application. However, the shortcut was ignored (never triggered) by Gnome Shell when pressing that combination.

Changing the shortcut to Super+Shift+L with identical configuration worked fine.

The keyboard shortcut editor should either warn if there's a conflict (which I don't think there is in this case) or indicate that shortcuts with just Super key are not accepted. Currently they are broken anyway, so it's best to tell people about this.
