Can't use any kind of "super" key combinations for keybindings in Ubuntu 12.04 from the control center

I've changed my Unity launcher from super to alt+F1 because I (used to) set a lot of commands with super keybindings. It appears to not work at all in Ubuntu 12.04.

Is there a solution ?

Thanks !

OT: also, ctrl+alt+q fails since ctrl+q closes the gnome control center...

Replacing "super" with "Mod4" in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/keybindings/custom0/%gconf.xml seems to work for me. There might be compatibility issues if you bind already existing shortcuts, say "Mod4+Tab".

"Alt+.." doesnt work either (after restarting X) for me. I have no solution for that. Why they dont put all shortcuts in the same place is beyond me... One place where every app could read/write the same shortcuts.. but that's another issue.
