OK, I just upgraded all three to the versions from experimental.

Correct.  The shortcut for a terminal has disappeared entirely rather
than migrating to a custom shortcut or similar.  And the section for
window management shortcuts seems to have disappeared as well; I don't
see any way to add shortcuts for maximize, fullscreen, or move window to
top/bottom/left/right.  The shortcut for a web browser has stopped
working as well.  None of the shortcuts I've previously set appear
anywhere in the keyboard settings dialog.

> - Do keyboard shortcuts not work at all?

The default shortcuts seem to work, for what they provide: alt-tab,
alt-F4, volume keys, screenshots, etc.  I can also create keyboard
shortcuts using Ctrl+Alt+key and those work fine.  Shortcuts using
Super+key don't, though.

> - Can you (re)create your shortcuts?

I tried recreating my shortcuts via the Keyboard settings dialog.  While
I can now set keyboard shortcuts using Super as a modifier (which
previously did not work and just treated Super_L as a key in itself),
hitting those keys does not actually invoke the desired action.  I tried
setting up a custom shortcut to launch gnome-terminal, and I tried
setting the existing "Launch web browser" shortcut; neither one worked.

If I set the shortcuts to use a modifier other than Super, I can invoke
them.  Any shortcut I set using Super does not seem to work, though the
keyboard settings dialog itself recognizes it just fine.

Also, I see no way to recreate my existing shortcuts for maximization,
fullscreen, or moving windows up/down/left/right.
