libdo-WARNING **: Binding '<Super>space' failed!

[Daniel Hackney]

Binary package hint: gnome-do

Gnome-do wasn't responding to keyboard presses, so I tried starting it in the console, and noticed that it showed the error

  libdo-WARNING **: Binding '<Super>space' failed!

I am pretty sure that I haven't bound anything to '<Super>space', since I did a clean install of the Karmic beta. Binding to a different key (such as <Alt><Super>space) works fine, but it would be nice to be able to use the default binding.

Does this always happen? Or was this a one-time thing?

If it was one-time, it makes sense. Do might have frozen and so you restarted it, but the key would still be bound.

Well I'll be... That seems to have done it.

Would it still make sense to try to change something to keep such a thing from occurring? It seems that the solution is to kill and restart gnome-do enough for it to forget about and re-bind the key.

No what you have there is a hung instance of GNOME Do. You need to try and figure out *why* that hung, and report that hang as another bug.

Do is setup to check if its already running and only run 1 instance already. If the already running instance is froze though that obviously fails to work.

Makes sense. I'll try to figure it out and report a new bug. Thanks!
