Title:
  "ALT + circumflex" can be set in the keybinding settings and conflict
  with unity

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.10

  "ALT + circumflex" can be mapped in the keyboard settings despite
  being reserved for the new ALT + tab extended functionality, making it
  execute two functions at once with severe side effects (GUI freeze,
  but keys are still responsive -> key smashing during freeze results in
  possible destruction of user data).
