Bug#653494: gnome: Some keyboard shortcuts with Mod4 (aka Super or the Windows key) must be pressed twice

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.0+6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Use System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts to define a shortcut that uses Mod4
by holding down the Windows key and pressing, e.g., a letter.  For example, I
have Mod4+X bound to launch a web browser.

Later, when I hold down the Windows key and press X, the system simply types an
x.  If, however, I keep holding down the Windows key and press X again, the
shortcut is triggered as it should be.

This only seems to affect some shortcuts.  Specifically, those beneath
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys seem to have trouble while those
given in .gconf/apps/metacity/global_keybindings (such as launching a terminal)
work more reliably.
