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 7 : unity open the trash window

  Ubuntu version : Natty Narwhal, fully updated
