Since X did not report correct keysyms until recently, the default keys
for some shortcuts used to be overridden in GNOME. The problem should be
fixed by this upload:

control-center (1:2.24.0.1-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * capplets-data.gconf-defaults: remove the keybinding settings. Now
     that X.org returns correctly the XF86* keys, they must be used
     instead.
