This problem has been bugging me for a very long time--custom and media
keyboard shortcuts occasionally not working; logging out and back in
usually fixes it.  Comment #63 fixed it for me immediately (did not have
to log out). :-)  To be clear, I ran CompizConfig (search for ccsm) and,
under the "General" category, unchecked the checkbox next to "Commands".
What's more, this same procedure fixed the PrintScreen button on another
computer (both Ubuntu 14.04.2).  I have not tried re-enabling CCSM
Commands.

Bug description:
  Just noticed that adding custom keyboard shortcuts does not have any
  effect. If, for example, I add a custom keyboard shortcut for Evince
  and set it to Ctrl+Alt+E, pressing this key combination won't launch
  Evince.

  * What happens *
    When I add a custom keyboard shortcut (and bind it to some key combination), the shortcut does not run the associated command.

  * What I expect *
    After adding the custom shortcut, I expect that the shortcut launches the associated command.
