Public bug reported:

A variety of predefined keys used by unity cannot be rebound. (Super+t,
Super+w, pretty much anything used by Unity)

If the user tries to rebind the keys using the unity-control-center ->
keyboard -> shortcuts dialog, the keybindings will not function.

The dialog should at least prevent the user from rebinding these keys.
There is a workaround for binding the keys which involves digging around
in compizconfig-settings-manager for the guilty keybinding. (

using-the-super-key )

Ideally, the control center should interface with unity to allow binding
the keys, there shouldn't be a separate configuration app.

** Affects: unity-control-center (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: unity-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) => unity-control-
center (Ubuntu)
