[Ayatana] Two key issues to fix in Unity



Sorry about the pun, but there are a few keyboard issues that I think requires
some attention.

1. If you press super+w (what is that view called?) and then press alt+f2,
then you can work with the window without bringing it into the foreground.
For instance, I pressed alt+f2, typed a few words and pressed enter. Those
words were sent to an IRC channel because Xchat had focus. What on earth
is the purpose of that?

2. When you press and hold super, then the launcher appears almost
immediately. If you hold it another second, then the icons get numbers on
them to show what number key to press in order to launch an application
or switch to it. My question is: why is there a waiting period before those
numbers are displayed? The one second without those numbers doesn't
seem to serve any purpose? There is a reason why I think this is important
but I'll save that for another post.

3. Is there an easy way to find all keyboard combinations in the different
"modes" of Unity? I mean normal desktop, lenses and super+w?

Thanks.
