Window Manager

My version of xfsettingsd is 4.11.2 (xfce 4.10)

I have a bug similar as bug 968: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=968

Eg when changing the keyboard settings for the window manager, specifically the maximize_window_key.

Every time I logged in again into the system, the keyboard I set for the maximize_window_key (<Super>Up) wouldn't work anymore.

Another way to reload the settings that would remove the shortcut I set is:

XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon x

After investigating it , I found out that the value="maximize_window_key" was twice in my ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml file:

      <property name="&lt;Alt&gt;F10" type="string" value="maximize_window_key"/>
      <property name="Escape" type="string" value="cancel_key"/>
      <property name="&lt;Alt&gt;F12" type="string" value="above_key"/>
      .......
      .......
      <property name="&lt;Super&gt;Up" type="string" value="maximize_window_key"/>

Thus the Alt F10 was probably overridding my configuration everytime.

My colleague had exactly the same issue with the same key, so I suspect they is a general issue because the XML is not cleaned when loaded.

I solved my issue by using the Clear button on the Window Manager -> Keyboar Tab
