Hi Omar,

Yes, the issue is still happening. I don't know the specifics of XkbStateNotify events, but it seems that whatever registers the key the latest gets priority. Thus, if g-s-d starts after compiz, it will get Super+p events, even though Unity (compiz) still gets the Super key when pressed in isolation. The fix to g-s-d didn't fix the underlying problem of Unity swallowing Super+p, just that if g-s-d gets the event it'll do the proper thing. Let me know if you have any more questions.
