Hi,

I think your problem is that you think xfce is a bash with job control, 
which isn't it, so your "&&" won't work. Put your snippet in a seperat 
bash script and execute the script with the shortcut. This should work. 
Oh, and don't forget to set the right environment variables. AFAIK xset 
needs DISPLAY and I don't know if this is available in this context.

Regards
