I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on ThinkPad Edge 11" and no matter what X session or wm I use, P makes widgets blank out for a fraction of a second. After a quick search through gconf and XF86 symbol tables I can't find any place where it could be bound. I believe it may have something to do with low-level support for Win+P switching video outputs on Windows. Any suggestions?

It is the exact same flicker as FN+F8 (switch video output). So I guess you are right with your hunch. – Martin Ueding Aug 13 '11 at 22:16

If you are lazy just paste this on terminal:
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/xrandr/active False
The Super+P press is handled by gnome-settings-daemon.
Using gconf-editor, find the following conf key:
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/xrandr/active
and set it to false (not checked). The change should be effective immediately after the edit.

This doesn't seem to work anymore (14.04) but it could also be my environment – Anders Eurenius Aug 14 '14 at 08:37

this does work: http://askubuntu.com/questions/68463/how-to-disable-global-super-p-shortcut (possibly simply because it crashed the offending daemon, but it worked.) – Anders Eurenius Aug 14 '14 at 08:41

For 14.10, I prefer **[this](http://askubuntu.com/a/585204/209676)** solution. You might want to keep `xrandr` functionality. – setempler Feb 14 '15 at 13:37
