xfce4-keyboard-settings: Bug or Design?

[Frank Murphy]

Trying to create my own shortcut.

/usr/bin/xfce4-keyboard-settings

tab: application shortcut

select new:
Command can be changed but not shortcut.
Like wise for existing shortcuts
http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-040610-151155.php

Also tried manually editing:
/home/frank/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/
xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml

  <property name="&lt;Control&gt;Escape" type="string"
value="xfce4-popup-menu"/>

I changed to:
  <property name="Super_L" type="string"
value="xfce4-popup-menu"/>

No difference

Should I forward this upstream?

Thanks Nathan,
that was it but not intuitive.
as "Cancel" was the only button I saw, after clicking ok.

This is what I had to do, del existing  then create new "Super_L" now
working.
