[gentoo-user] XFCE4 keyboard shortcuts not working

I have the following (default) keyboard shortcuts in xfce4:

XF86Display
<Super>p
<Control>Escape
<Control><Alt>Delete
<Alt>F2

<Alt>F2 works, but <Control>Escape and <Control><Alt>Delete don't
work. I don't know what keys correspond to XF86Display and <Super>p
so I haven't tested those. The commands associated with the two
shortcuts that don't work do execute successfully so I'm not sure what
the problem is. Does anyone know how to fix this?

This is a problem that was introduced in GTK >= 2.24.7 recently. There
is a fix for libxfce4ui to make the keyboard shortcuts work again at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?idv8704 but vte needs to be
patched, too. For more info see
