Comment 13 for bug 558581

I am also affected by this bug. Running fully-updated Maverick beta (upgraded from Lucid).

<Super>+m (configured via gnome-keybinding-properties for toggle-maximization) was my single most used keyboard shortcut until indicator-applet took it over last week when I upgraded to Maverick beta. Because of this, and because it also introduces an incompatibility with my main (Karmic) machine, so that I can't have the same workflow on both machines, this bug is "critical" for me.

Needless to say, indicator-applet should get an entry in the gnome-keybinding-properties and read its shortcuts from there. If that is not feasible, then there should be a preferences dialog in indicator-applet that allows the user to choose and/or disable the shortcuts. At the very worst, there should be a way to configure this using gconf, together with the appropriate documentation.

In the meantime, I have Jacob's patch.

Finally, re Mikael Fridh's comment, do we not already have a keyboard shortcut setting for "Log Out" (defaulting to Ctrl+Alt+Del)? Indicator-applet-session should use this shortcut setting instead of introducing a new shortcut for the exact same function (albeit handled by a different program).
