Title:
  unity style dialogs sometimes not clickable (keyboard shortcuts,
  shutdown, ...)

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When you log into Ubuntu 14.04 for the first time, a keyboard
  shortcuts dialog is shown. This dialog has an (X) in the upper left
  corner, but sometimes it's not actually possible to click it. The
  dialog buttons are for some reason unresponsive.

  The same happens with the shutdown dialog. The issue can be reproduced
  by placing a shutdown icon on the desktop. An executable
  ~/Desktop/shutdown.desktop file with these contents:

  [Desktop Entry]
  Comment=
  Terminal=false
  Name=Shutdown
  Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-session-quit --reboot
  Type=Application
  Icon=system-shutdown

  You might have to relogin or refresh the desktop with F5 for the icon
  to be shown.

  When clicking that icon, the shutdown dialog appears but it's entirely
  unresponsive. You can't click the buttons, you can't click the (X) in
  the upper left corner. If there is a window in the background of the
  dialog, for some reason all clicks go to that background window even
  though the dialog is shown on top. So it's as if the dialog lives in
  the wrong layer or something.

  This only happens when starting the dialog from the desktop icon. The
  dialog works if you put the icon in the dash instead, or start
  /usr/bin/gnome-session-quit --reboot from a terminal, or change
  'Terminal=false' to 'Terminal=true' (which makes a terminal window
  appear when you click the icon).

  I'll attach the screenshot that shows unresponsive dialog, and regular
  dialog side by side. You can see the mouse cursor is ignored for the
  unresponsive dialog, whereas it highlights (X), buttons, etc. properly
  for the working one.

  I can reproduce this both within the Ubuntu 14.04.1 Live CD system, as
  well as in the finished install.
