Title:
  xmodmap arrowkeys are not working in unity dash

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  using ubuntu 11.10;

  I am using remapped arrow keys (using xmodmap). 
  The mapping is :
  CapsLock -> Mode Switch
  h - left, l - right, j - down, k - up
  Which means pressing [capslock] and [j] together 
  gives me the same functionality as pressing [down] arrow key.

  However in unity dash, this doesnt seem to work.
  I am unable to navigate through the options listed by dash
  using my remapped arrow keys.

  For example in dash, typing "fir" and 
  by pressing some [down] arrows i can reach firefox.
  The same is not possible with my remapped keys.

  thank you
  :)
