Description:
After some recent updates some key combination doesn't work anymore under gnome. Shortcuts for applications still works, e.g. F11 in firefox still works.
I use gnome 3 with gnome-shell.
PC: a 64-bit tower-pc and the system Archlinux

Shortscuts which don't work:
ctrl-alt-l (lock screen)
special keys for audio volume
ctrl-alt-del (shutdown-menu)
print (for screenshots)


Shortcuts which work:
ctrl-alt-fx
ctrl-c/v
windows key
ctrl-alt-up/down
alt-f2
This task depends upon

I have the same problem after last updates. I think that keys listed in "Keyboard > Shortcuts" aren't working. It seems to be a bug in some Gnome 3 package.
My system: Arch Linux 64 bit HP laptop

I have the same problem on both of my archlinuxes (64-bit) running gnome

I have the same problem, on a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E430, running current Arch 64bit.

In gnome 3.6 the keybindings work again. And gnome 3.6 runs just with some small problems.
But upgrading to it is a bit hairy.

I apologize for begging, because this plea is against the philosophy of Archlinux! Can we use the fixed proposed below?

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150587&p=3
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686102

Rationale:
* The gnome developers itself fixed that months ago (correct?), but doesn't released a patch, so it is already in officiall tree
* Using a major release for fixing plain bugs is not sane nor secure
* Gnome 3.6 is, at time of writing, not in [stable] and it will need some days or even weeks before moving from [testing] to [stable]
* Just pulling the simple fix itself for the current package of gnome-settings-daemon can be delivered immediately and shouldn't be too dangerous
* The Gnome developers suggests this itself
* Usage of Gnome 3.4 is broken in core areas

Talking and persuading Gnome developers leads often not to a solution and just make both sides sad. Thats not personal judgement, it is just the experience.
Thanks, even if you decide not to do this.
