Bug Description

Hello,
Today I installed Gnome do and I gave it the same "activate Hot key" as Synapse had.
I supposed that Gnome do would have written his preferences on Synapse ones, or something like that.
I was wrong. The hot key just stopped to work and Gnome do reported several error, so I decided to keep using Synapse.
But even if I uninstalled Gnome do, Synapse hot key doesn't answer.

If I run Synapse in terminal this is th report:

Thanks for the Help in advance,

Not sure I understood what OP's problem was. However, I do get a bunch of "Unity is not understood" as well in my .xsession-errors. Is that because I'm running xmonad as my window manager?

Doesn't work for me either.

I get the following on ubuntu 20.10

Possibly incompatible with wayland

I have to activate manually from dash.
