What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. create a new shortcut that opens another application (i.e.: system.exec_command("gnome-terminal") 2. launch the command 3. try to launch any other command through its keyboard shortcut

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? until the previous window is opened, any other shortcut won't work... command will launch fine through panel icon. shouldn't i expect autokey to launch a new gnome-terminal window everytime the shortcut is pressed?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? AutoKey (GTK UI) 0.71.0 on ubuntu 10.10

correction: the issue only affects scripts with the "midori" command... substituted midori with firefox and now everything goes fine... :)

This is more a case of user error... if you use a hotkey to start a program that will run for a long time, e.g. gnome-terminal or midori, you should use e.g. system.exec_command('midori', False) This will prevent AutoKey from waiting for the output of the command which prevents other hotkeys from being triggered (in the old version you are using). This problem does not exist at all in the latest version.
