Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  What I did :

  1. install my computer, using azerty (french) keyboard layout 
  2. switch my computer to bépoè layout (it is like dvorak, but for french)
  3. remove the azerty layout (in the keyboard preferences windows
  4. press Ctrl-alt-t
  5. press Ctrl-alt-è (è is the key which was the t in the azerty layout)
  6. press Super-f
  7. press Super-t

  What I expected :
  at step 4 : unity open the terminal
  at step 5 : nothing
  at step 6 : unity open the files lens
  at step 7 : unity open the trash window

  What happened :
  at step 4 : nothing
  at step 5 : unity open the terminal
  at step 6 : unity open the files lens
  at step 7 : unity open the trash window

  Comments :
  So, it seems that with ctrl-alt, unity uses the old layout (which I removed), and with Super, it uses the correct layout.  Remark that if I uses ctrl-alt-f3, the computer uses the azerty layout.  So, it looks like switching keyboard layout and removing the previous one only applied to the graphical side (X server?), and that Unity, for some reason, uses different layout when I press ctrl-alt and super...

  Ubuntu version : Natty Narwhal, fully updated
