Details

Due to a regression in libxfce4ui, attempting to use <Shift> as a modifier fails when used with alpha characters (e.g., setting a shortcut that binds to "<Super><Shift>c" is, instead, interpreted as "<Super>c").

The bug is described in more detail by Harald Judt --

http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce-bugs/2012-May/005446.html

-- who has written two patches to fix it, which I've attached, along with the changed libxfce4ui PKGBUILD.


Additional info:
* package version(s): libxfce4ui 4.10
   enable-shift-modifier-in-shor... (1.2 KiB)
   enable-shift-modifier-in-shor... (1.9 KiB)
   PKGBUILD (1.4 KiB)

I'm not going to add patches to our package that haven't been reviewed and/or applied upstream.

I added myself to the CC list of [1] though and will reconsider if upstream devs review the patches.
