Bug#1042445: gnome-shell: Allow inhibiting shortcuts setting not remembered

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 43.6-1
Severity: normal

After having switched from xorg to wayland, I now get a popup every time 
I run virt-viewer, "The application virt-viewer wants to inhibit 
shortcuts. You can restore shortcuts by pressing Super+Escape."

If I select Allow or Deny is irrelevant, neither option is remembered.

This seems to be a well-known bug according to google, there's a fix in 
Gnome 42 here:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5937

It even looks like it was previously fixed in gnome-shell 3.31.92-1 
according to the changelog, so I assume the patch has been missed from 
43 in Sid?

https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/g/gnome-shell/gnome-shell_43.6-1_changelog

virt-viewer is 11.0-2 if that's relevant.

Regards.
