[Bug 1755106] [NEW] /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/ fails to load

[Péter Prőhle]

Public bug reported:

$ dconf dump /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/
[custom1]
binding='<Primary><Alt>BackSpace'
command='gnome-session-quit --power-off'
name='gnome-session-quit --power-off'

[custom0]
binding='<Primary><Alt>g'
command='gnome-terminal --geometry=80x99-0+0'
name='gnome-terminal --geometry=80x99-0+0'
$

In spite of the above, time to time, not always, but since 18.04 much
much more frequently this settings fails to become active just after
booting, ... my account is logged in automatically just after boot.

If I log out and log in again, then these key bindings work.

If I go to the system settings, and define again, then these work again.

Earlier, before 18.04 this phenomenon was rare, namely once a week at
most.

But since 18.04 it is almost guaranteed, not deterministic, but highly
probable, that after an initial boot or a warm reboot these key bindings
will not work.
