Marking as triaged and editing the title, since the cause of the bug is
known

** Summary changed:

- After closing last window on workspace, the keyboard doesn't react at any keypress
+ When last window on workspace doesn't accept focus, the keyboard doesn't react at any keypress

** Description changed:

  How to reproduce :
  
  - Have a workspace with only one window
  - Close it
  - Try to switch on a another workspace or use any keyboard shortcut : nothing happens
  - Only way to get back to a working configuration is to switch to another application by clicking an app in the launcher
  
  I don't always experience this bug, i'm having it right now on my
  desktop but not on my laptop (both running precise). I've experienced it
  on other machines and on Oneiric too.
  
  I've asked a question about this on AskUbuntu a while ago (
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/89046/keyboard-shortcuts-dont-work-when-
  no-window-left-on-current-workspace ) at that time I had a rather exotic
  desktop configuration, but now I run Unity with almost no setting
  changed and it still happens.
  
+ === update ===
+ 
+ This bug happends when there is a sticky window on the desktop that
+ doesn't accept focus (covergloobus does that, but I've also written a
+ short Python program in comment #15 that can trigger the bug)
