Public bug reported:

Affected version: Ubuntu 14.04.

When switching to the Neo 2 keyboard layout, I cannot use the ALT or
SUPER keys at all. To reproduce this bug, do the following:

- In the keyboard system tray menu, select "Text Entry"
- Click "+"
- Select: "Germany (Neo 2)"
- Close the "Text Entry" configuration
- In the keyboard system tray menu, (temporarily) select "Germany (Neo 2)" as active layout.

Now, shortcuts like <ALT>+<TAB>, <ALT>+<F2>, ... are no longer working.
The same goes for the shortcuts I tried with <SUPER>.

Switching to Neo2 by "setxkbmap de neo" has the same result.

For sake of completeness: There are other bug reports regarding Neo2,
reporting that Layer4 (Mod4) is not working. In my case, Mod4 seems to
be working fine.
