Comment 74 for bug 1292290

I installed xubuntu-default-settings from the "proposed" repo

# dpkg -l | grep xubuntu-default-settings
ii xubuntu-default-settings 14.04.8

Having deleted the xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml file for user "aaa" I logged in as that user and used the settings applet to bind /usr/local/bin/logpid ( a simple utility which writes the current PID to the system log) to Ctrl-PrtSc (which appears in the shortcuts file as <Primary>Print).

Despite the fact that the shortcut is in the file ...

# sudo grep Print /home/aaa/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
      <property name="&lt;Primary&gt;Print" type="string" value="/usr/local/bin/logpid"/>

... the bound action didn't work at all; nothing was written to the system log (displayed from another terminal). Executing /usr/local/bin/logpid from the command line produced the expected log entry, demonstrating that the utility does work.

So I'm unable to verify that the new version fixes the bug because the expected binding behaviour failed.
