Figured out a work-around, target keyboard in this example is "English
(Dvorak)":

In "Keyboard Preferences", install the regular "English (US)" as the
PRIMARY keyboard, put it first on the list.

Switch to the "English (US)" keyboard.

Open your Custom Shortcuts ( System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts ->
Custom Shortcuts ) and set them up in the "English (US)" keyboard as if
you were using "English (Dvorak)".  For example, if you want to bind
"Shift + Ctrl + T" in Dvorak, set it up as "Shift + Ctrl + K" in
"English (US)".

Once they're all set up, switch the keyboard to "English (Dvorak)" and
continue life a usual.

Log out, when you log back in the keyboard will default back to "English
(US)" so you'll need to change the keyboard to "English (Dvorak)" every
time you log in, but hey it seems to work.

Title:
  Some keyboard shortcuts stop working after reboot when using non-
  qwerty layout

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

  After logging in, all keyboard shortcuts have moved to the physical
  positions of QWERTY layout, even though such layout is not used.

  Versions affected:
  gnome-settings-daemon 2.28.1-0ubuntu2 under Ubuntu 9.10
  gnome-settings-daemon 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 under Ubuntu 10.04

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Set keymap to Estonia Dvorak.
  2. Observe that pressing ctrl+alt+h (which translates to ctrl+alt+d on Dvorak keymap) hides all windows, given that ctrl+alt+d is set up to show desktop.
  3. Reboot.
  4. When logged in again, observe that ctrl+alt+h has no effect while ctrl+alt+d hides all windows. Note that this is not desired behaviour for a Dvorak keymap user.
