[Bug 704231] Re: Unity blocks other programs from receiving <super> key-press events.

 

What I am observing still is thus:

Background: Windows is running in VirtualBox, running in a Unity
session. The VirtualBox keyboard lock is active.

If I tap the Super key, the Windows start menu and the Dash Home open.
(Bad: Dash Home shouldn't open.)

If I hold the Super key for half a second and release it, the Windows
start menu opens but the Dash Home does not. (Good.)

Ditto with the Alt key; on tap, the HUD opens when it shouldn't.
However, if I tap Alt+Tab, the HUD also opens (which is inconsistent,
suggesting that the Alt key gets through to Unity but the Tab key
doesn't).

@Ryan, @Daniel: the issue you are having sounds to me like it's may be
related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-
