Description chris procter 2016-04-04 11:52:26 UTC
Description of problem:
gnome-keybinding-properties doesn't display custom key bindings with Ctrl in them. Looking at the settings in /.gconf/apps/metacity/window_keybindings/%gconf.xml it looks like Primary is being used instead of Ctrl. I think this problem relates to the following fedora bugs:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
control-center-2.28.1-39.el6.x86_64
gtk2-2.24.23-6.el6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Keyboard Shortcuts in Gnome Control Center
2. select an action such as "Switch to workspace 4"
3. press ctrl-4 and notice the short cut is displayed as "4"

Actual results:
it displays the shortcut as 4

Expected results:
it displays the shortcut as Ctrl+4

Additional info:
This appears to be closely related to bz752591 and bz748444 except this is gnome 2 on rhel6 and they are gnome 3 on fedora.

If you hand edit ~/.gconf/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/%gconf.xml to replace "Primary" with "Control" it then displays as expected.
