  ibus' Super+Space shortcut (usually) doesn't work

Bug description:
  1. Add the ubuntu-desktop PPA on Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy"
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade
  sudo apt-get install indicator-keyboard
  2. Log out and log back in.
  2. Open System Settings>Region & Language
  3. Switch to the Text Entry tab.
  4. Click the + button to add at least two more keyboard layouts.
  5. Log out and log back in.
  6. Try to use the (new) default Super+Space keyboard shortcut to switch between keyboard layouts.

  What happens
  -------------------
  Usually, Super+Space is ignored. It worked for me once on login but every other time I tested it didn't work.
  It works fine in GNOME Shell but not in Unity.

  gsettings reset org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys switch-input-source
  seems to be enough to nudge Unity into respecting the Super+Space keyboard shortcut.

  My guess is that Unity is too aggressive in binding the Super key to
  itself.

  Workaround
  -----------------
  Shift+Super+Space, the keyboard shortcut to switch backward between keyboard layouts works.
