inhibitShortcutsDialog not working in Ubuntu 22.10 / Gnome 43. Breaks keygrab and passing keys to VMs/remote systems

Bug is fixed upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6107

Without that fix it is impossible to use same system shortcuts (Alt+Shift, etc.) in main system and in VM in virt-manager.

I am marking this a duplicate of https://launchpad.net/bugs/1997481 since gnome-shell 43.1 includes this fix and I've already prepared the Stable Release Update for Ubuntu 22.10 using that bug number in the changelog.

Please keep this bug open because the other one is not a useful description of the problem. Also the fix landed four commits after the 43.1 tag so it is in 43.2:

I see inhibitShorcutsDialog-Fix-permission-check.patch is in the kinetic branch but not in Ubuntu master. Is Salsa out of date again? Either way, the above tag relates to the upstream fix tag, not any Debian or Ubuntu release.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The fix is definitely missing on lunar (43.1-2ubuntu1) if you look at the source code. It should be:

Thanks for fixing the bug status!

I thought the fix was worth cherry-picking for Kinetic. It should land in Lunar when 43.2 is released, possibly as early as next week.
