Hi all,

thanks a lot, I upgraded to MATE 22.04 and could confirm that marco is no longer recognising its keybindings.

However I discovered a second issue some minutes ago:

I installed MATE 22.04 on another system with some special keys on the keyboard and one of the keys (Fn + F9) on the connected keyboard is launching "mate-search-tool". I did some further research and noticed that this time different component is affected: mate-settings-daemon.

When I terminated mate-settings-daemon via SSH connection, the keybinding was no longer accepted.

20.04.3 does not seem to be affected, as slick-greeter is not relying on mate-settings-daemon. So it's probably 20.10 up to 22.04.

I will add a comment to the existing issue within the arctica-greeter project.

Not sure what the best fix is - either something similar like "marco --no-keybindings", or by not invoking mate-settings-daemon at all, although I guess this could break some ayatana-indicators features.
