Steps:
1. Go keyboard settings and set "Compose key" value to something different than "-"
2. Change "Compose key" value to "-"
3. Lock session (reproducible with lightlocker)
4. Unlock session
5. Pres any hotkey that is set in xfce shortcut list (e.g. Alt-F2)


Expected:
Corresponding action/script should run, e.g. "run" dialog should appear

Observed:
Shortcuts dont get processed by xfce and are ignored for 10 seconds. If pressing it repeatedly it will process only keypresses hit after 10 seconds timeout, previous keypresses are ignored.

More info:
Manual fix can be done with direct edit of file ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboard-layout.xml.
Removing next line makes shortcuts to start working immediately
<property name="Compose" type="string" value=""/>
Reproducible with "value" as an empty string in xml file.

Is this bug only triggered by locking the user session via light-locker?
