@ Bruno,

A friend of mine also uses Ubuntu 13.10 and he brought to my attention
that he's also experiencing this same issue as you. He couldn't figure
out why my machine was able to see shortcut hints overlay but his
couldn't? He looked over my machine and his in a side-by-side comparison
since we both own laptops and he figured it out. His machine has
workspaces enabled and mine doesn't. He enabled workspaces on my machine
and the shortcut hints overlay no longer worked.

Funny thing is, the kernel update from 01-04 partially fixes this issue,
only if workspaces is disabled. I don't use workspaces and I think
starting in Ubuntu 13.04 (or maybe it was 13.10), they stopped enabling
workspaces by default? Needless to say, this issue did persist while
workspaces was disabled as you can see in my previous postings here. The
latest kernel update fixed it for me since I don't have workspaces
enabled.

So now we've narrowed down this bug being specific to workspaces being
enabled.

Title:
  Holding Super key doesn't bring up shortcut overlay.

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10, holding Super no longer brings up
  the help overlay. Holding Super worked before upgrading. Tapping the
  Super key still brings up the HUD, and holding it down still brings up
  the Launcher and after a second or so shows the numbers on the
  applications. In Compiz Config Manager, under Ubuntu Unity Plugin ->
  Launcher, the Key to show the Dash, Launcher and Help Overlay is set
  to Super. Under Ubuntu Unity Plugin -> General, Enable Shortcut Hints
  Overlay is checked.
