Err... is there another "official" name for that? Some say "classic" 
mode, others "the gnome mode you get when your gfx card / drivers don't 
support 3D", the one that is announced to be obsolete in the next few 
releases and will be dropped when Gnome 3.4 (or slightly later) is 
released...

So basically one just can't change the key-combo? Not even with some 
gsettings / dconf / $EDITOR magic?
If requiring super is that excessive, no idea... but apparently I have 
some boxes that do not have a super-key (older IBM ThinkPad laptops), 
and if that key-combo is not modifyable it is at least... annoying! :)

Why file a bug in the Debian BTS? Imho if it is not configurable it is a 
bug in gnome. I am not talking about a gui to change that, a textfile or 
cli-tool *is* fine. So I don't want to argue if removing so many options 
is a good idea or not for the majority of users... but at least there 
should be a non-gui-way (apart from fiddeling with the source) to do 
such stuff.

P.S.: I consider using setxkbmap to remap another key... but that is a 
workaround and not a solution, the "bug" remains.
