Nope, but nice inference though.  I just changed both of them to other shortcuts (ctrl-alt-u and ctrl-alt-l).  They only
work intermittently now.  For example, with my Thunderbird window in focus, these shortcuts work 80-90% of the time.
But if I'm on an empty desktop, they work around 10% of the time.  Weird indeed.

I don't have this problem with other xfce4 functions such as xfce4-popup-notes or xfce4-session-logout which
consistently work w/keyboard shortcuts.
