I've been using indicator-applet-complete since 10.10, but, now that I've upgrade to 12.04 (keeping gnome-classic), it has started hijacking super+s. Although Super+m is still fine.

It seems that keyboard shortcuts are generally a mess in Ubuntu, and 12.04 only made it worse. Any shortcuts I assign with <Super> in System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts won't work until I change "<Super>" to "<Mod4>" in gconf-editor. And programs like compiz, unity, or even the lowly indicator-applet(-complete) seem to ignore any settings in either of those places at will.

Does anyone know what the schedule is for unifying the setting and unsetting of keyboard shortcuts? Will we have to wait for Quantal Quetzal or beyond for this to be fixed? As things stand, Ubuntu needs a lot fewer "innovations", like Unity, and more bugfixes.
