Bug#662648: Cannot hold down modifier and hit several keyboard shortcuts after one opens a window; must release modifier in between

[Josh Triplett]

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 3.2.2-2
Severity: normal

I have several keyboard shortcuts set, all using Super as a modifier,
which I've mapped to Caps Lock using the following line in
~/.xsession:

xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock" -e "keycode 66 = Super_L"

Among other things, I've mapped Super-N to create a new terminal, and
Super-M to maximize.  I frequently chain these shortcuts without
releasing Super; for instance, Super-N-M creates a terminal and
maximizes it.  This worked fine in GNOME 2.  However, since upgrading to
GNOME 3, this no longer works if one of the shortcuts opens a window.
Thus, if I press Super, then N (creating a terminal window), then M,
the terminal does not maximize when I press M.  If I release Super,
press it again, and then press M, it works.

This only seems to apply to a chain of keyboard shortcuts which includes
the opening of a windows.  I can chain keyboard shortcuts which don't
open a window, such as Super-M-Right-Down (unmaximize, throw to right
edge, throw to bottom edge).  Perhaps the opening of a window breaks
gnome-settings-daemon's focus or grab handling?

Also, this doesn't seem to apply if I use the existing Super key on the
keyboard; it only occurs when I use the Caps Lock key as Super with the
mapping above in place.
