I thought this was worth a bug report since it annoyed me for some time
before I found a workaround (= feel free to reject this bug).


After last update of gnome-shell to v3.2.x on a squeeze box, screen lock
shortcut did not work anymore.

Although it is possible to use Lock Screen entry in "user's menu" on top
right, it was annoying not to be able to use keyboard. ^_^


Today, it came to my mind to redefine this shortcut to its same default
value using Shortcuts tab in System Settings->Keyboard.

After reassigning [ALT]+[CTRL]+L as lock screen shortcut all went back
as usual. :-)


Hope These 0.02 cents Help someone,
Fernando

Have you maybe mis-configured that shortcut yourself?
I tried with a fresh user account and it works out of the box.

Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the
