I beleive I have the same problem.

In my case, I'm using Colemak layout for english and Persian layout for
typing in Farsi.

When in Colemak (en) I can use normal shortcuts (say I can use Ctrl+O to
open files and since I'm using colemak, I use the key with the ";" sign
on it with ctrl key because that is the colemak key for "o"). Up to here
everything is fine.

But when I'm in Farsi layout, I have to use the control and "*querty* O
key" to open the open dialoug and this makes life very difficult for
people who are not using the normal querty keyboard as their main
keyboard.

  at step 4 : unity open the terminal
  at step 5 : nothing
  at step 6 : unity open the files lens

  at step 5 : unity open the terminal
  at step 6 : unity open the files lens

  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
