  gnome-shell most keyboard shortcuts not working

  Updated Bug Description
  =======================

  For Ubuntu 12.04, System Settings (gnome-control-center and gnome-
  settings-daemon) was patched to continue to support the gconf keyboard
  shortcuts used by Unity, Unity 2D, and the GNOME Classic sessions.
  Unfortunately, GNOME Shell now uses gsettings keyboard shortcuts so
  GNOME Shell ignores keyboard shortcut changes that get entered into
  System Settings>Keyboard>Shortcuts.

  This should be fixed for Ubuntu 12.10 but it's too late and
  complicated to fix for Ubuntu 12.04.

  One Workaround
  ==============
  Install dconf-tools
  Run dconf-editor
  Look in org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings or org.gnome.mutter.keybindings

  Another Workaround
  ==================
  Set a custom keyboard shortcut. This is useful if you want to set Ctrl+Alt+F to open Firefox for instance. In System Settings, click Keyboard. Switch to the Shortcuts tab and click Custom Shortcuts at the bottom of the list.

  Click the + button and add a name to remember the shortcut and  the
  specific command you want to execute. Click Apply. Find the name in
  the list and click the right half of the row. "Disabled" should change
  to "New accelerator". Enter the keyboard shortcut you want to use.

  Ctrl+Alt+T to open the terminal and several other usual shortcuts from
  Unity have been added to GNOME Shell on April 17.
