Public bug reported:

Hi,

I often work with remote machines through VMWare Horizon Client.
Whenever I use shortcuts with the Super key inside a remote machine,
Unity thinks I'm long-pressing it, and shows me the Shortcut Hints
Overlay, and also highlights icon numbers in the Unity Launcher. The
main point here is the overlay pops up immediately, even though the
Super key pressed and released in a split second.

This should happen only when the Super key is long-pressed outside of
VMWare Horizon Client. This issue is reproducible on Ubuntu 14.10 and
15.04,  VMWare Clients 2.2.0 (available in the official repos for Trusty
as vmware-view-client) and 3.2.0 (from VMWare's website).

I understand that it may not be a Unity problem, but rather the way the
Horizon Client handles keys grabbing. Hopefully, there's a way to fix or
a workaround it on the Unity side.
