Bug#682916: gnome-shell: access via vnc interprets <up> key as Super-<up>

[Rob Browning]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.4.1-8

When connecting to an up to date testing (wheezy) Gnome desktop
(provided by vnc4server or tightvncserver), hitting the up arrow causes
windows to toggle their minimization state.

Gnome appears to be interpreting <up> and <down> as Super-<up> and
Super-<down>.  I tested both servers, and from both the vinagre and
xvnc4viewer clients.

As a workaround, you can go to the keyboard control panel and change the
keybindings to remove Super+Up and Super+Down from the Windows section.

I suppose it's possible I have some local configuration interfering, but
I don't see anything suspicious in the xev output for the <up> and
<down> keys on the VNC client machine:

  KeyPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x5e00001,
      root 0xb0, subw 0x0, time 1010588025, (359,390), root:(1320,411),
      state 0x0, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff52, Up), same_screen YES,
      XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
      XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
      XFilterEvent returns: False

  KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x5e00001,
      root 0xb0, subw 0x0, time 1010588137, (359,390), root:(1320,411),
      state 0x0, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff52, Up), same_screen YES,
      XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
      XFilterEvent returns: False

I'm not sure I have the right package, so please reassign as appropriate.

Thanks
