Daniel Pirch (dpirch) wrote : Cinnamon custom keyboard shortcuts don't work until logout

Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release: 20.04
cinnamon: 4.4.8-4
cinnamon-settings-daemon: 4.4.0-3

Steps to Reproduce:
- on Cinnamon desktop, run cinnamon-settings
- go to Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts
- add a custom shortcut, or edit the command or shortcut of an existing custom shortcut

Expected behavior:
the shortcut should become active immediately

Actual behavior:
the shortcut does not work until you log out and log in again

This seems similar to bug #1243532, but I'm reporting this as a new bug now because it is cinnamon-specific. Other shortcuts (e.g. Close Window) are updated immediately, this only affects custom shortcuts. I think this bug appeared in 20.04.
