Comment 1 for bug 711703

Could not reproduce this issue even on a freshly installed maverick installation.

So that we can track down the issue a bit further I've created a new branch with some more debug statements.

Do get the new branch installed on your machine follow these steps:
sudo apt-get build-dep diodon
bzr branch lp:~diodon-team/diodon/hotkey-fix
cd hotkey-fix
./waf configure
./waf build
sudo ./waf install

After starting diodon from the console again, check if there are any logging statement when the hotkey is pressed.

(Hint just call sudo ./waf uninstall do uninstall diodon again)
