The keyboard shortcut editor in gnome-control-center has regressed from Fedora 15: it apparently no longer understands multiple modifiers. Selecting a key to redefine, and typing (for example) "Ctrl-Alt-T" produces "Alt-T" in the text window instead. Checking the gconf key that results, I see the odd-looking string "<Primary><Alt>t" has been set. This doesn't seem to work. Manually changing it back to "<Control><Alt>t" works as expected. Note again that this is a regression. Gnome 3.0 in Fedora 15 handled this just fine.

This is a duplicate of bug 748444 (already closed, so not marking as one).
control-center-3.2.2-1.fc16 doesn't fix the problem completely. "Ctrl" now appears, but it works just for some shortcuts. For example Ctrl+Alt+W for "Launch Terminal" or "Take a screenshot" works. But the same shortcut doesn't work for "Home folder", "Lock screen" or any custom shortcut. In that case only Alt+W triggers that action, even though it is displayed as Ctrl+Alt+W. If I look into gconf-editor, the shortcut is written as "<Primary><Alt>W". I believe the difference is whether the shortcuts are saved into dconf or gconf. dconf-based shortcuts now work with Control, gconf-based ones don't. Just my guess.
Custom shortcuts use a different codepath (they're in the keybindings plugin in gnome-settings-daemon, not in the media-keys plugin). That's fixed for GNOME 3.4. File a new upstream bug if you want it looked at.
Bastien, could we backport the patch to GNOME 3.2? Fedora 16 is the brand new stable release. Users will use it for at least a year. I don't see any reason to file an upstream bug for it, because it has been already fixed in GNOME 3.4. Or will there be some official GNOME bugfix release before 3.4? I'm not familiar with GNOME release planning.
control-center-3.2.2-1.fc16, gnome-settings-daemon-3.2.2-1.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
