So, keyboard shortcuts seem to be pretty hosed generally atm. We need to look into that for FC6. What happened to me earlier when I investigated this was that I temporarily assigned Alt-1, Alt-2, etc to functions. But when I later reset them again, my number keys were dead ! and they stayed dead even after switching keyboard layouts and trying several other things. That can easily bring users into unfixable situations.
Actually, I noticed something similar ; I had ctrl-shift-p as play/pause... and then this morning I couldn't type a p anywhere in GNOME until I changed the shortcut, logged out, whacked gconfd, and logged back in.
comment 4 and comment 5 are the reason I asked upstream to remove those keys from the capplet back in GNOME 2.13. See: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133815#c32 and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133815#c24 and other comments in the bug Upstream didn't think that the fact that I wrote this code was a good enough reason to disable that broken code...
Ray, I spent some time inside XKB today and wrote a little test program that shows how to grab keys, and also how to ignore locked modifiers.

Forgot to mention that we probably need to keep the "bind all permutations" code as a fallback for the non-XKB case, at least when moving this upstream.
Thanks Matthias! I didn't know XKB could be leveraged to make this easier.

Ray, isn't this fixed with the 2.18 version of the control-center and the D-Bus multimedia keys support?
yes
