Thank you to everyone who replied - I haven't replied sooner because I
haven't had five minutes at my own computer to test these out.

So: We have "hide window" which is still mapped to the old <Meta>+m.

Problem: Doesn't work for me. I tested other <Meta> shortcuts in case
my keymapping was a fscked, and some of them worked, some of them
don''t.

So: Not all of the specified keyboard shortcuts work, and It doesn't
appear to be related to the <Meta>/<Alt> key itself.

As a test, I tried resetting the shortcut to see what would happen if
I tried to reset it to the same <Meta>+m.

Interestingly, double-clicking on the "Hide window" entry revealed a
_blank_ "Shortcut" entry. I could then set it to <Meta>+m, close the
Settings dialogue and hey presto, it worked.

However, re-opening the "Window Manager" settings dialogue would
cancel the shortcut, forcing me to reset it.

Ideas welcome!

Slainte,
Jonathan
