Actually this seems to affect every key that is not handled directly to
the target application, but indirectly (through the window-manager?),
e.g. also media buttons when the associated media application window is
not focused.

I also seem to have stumbled over a workaround somehow: I'm using Ubuntu
Gnome here, and after installing kubuntu-desktop (during installation I
selected lightdm, not gdm) and starting into KDE once (there the
affected buttons didn't work either), on next login the login screen
changed to KDE-style (where you can choose the UI type). After logging
in to Gnome again the buttons seem to work.

Title:
  German neo2 keyboard layout: no ALT and SUPER keys

Status in xkeyboard-config package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Affected version: Ubuntu 14.04.

  When switching to the Neo 2 keyboard layout, I cannot use the ALT or
  SUPER keys at all. To reproduce this bug, do the following:

  - In the keyboard system tray menu, select "Text Entry"
  - Click "+"
  - Select: "Germany (Neo 2)"
  - Close the "Text Entry" configuration
  - In the keyboard system tray menu, (temporarily) select "Germany (Neo 2)" as active layout.

  Now, shortcuts like <ALT>+<TAB>, <ALT>+<F2>, ... are no longer
  working. The same goes for the shortcuts I tried with <SUPER>.

  Switching to Neo2 by "setxkbmap de neo" has the same result.

  For sake of completeness: There are other bug reports regarding Neo2,
  reporting that Layer4 (Mod4) is not working. In my case, Mod4 seems to
  be working fine.
