Problem figured out by Trevinho and didrocks on irc: unity only emits
AcceleratorActivated() for the first id returned by GrabAccelerator()
and doesn't watch the unique name of the grabbing process. Thus, when
something other than unity-settings-daemon grabs the key before it, or
u-s-d crashes, those keys it grabbed at the very beginning can never be
regrabbed.

After a couple of rounds of testing and some code review, I can't make
unity-settings-daemon subscribe to the same accelerator twice and thus
getting into that situation itself. Feel free to reassign it to u-s-d
once unity is fixed but this problem still persists.

Title:
  Media keys (ctrl-alt-t, brightness, play/pause) don't work randomly
  after logging

Bug description:
  I've installed 15.10 and I can't open a terminal using ctrl-alt-t or
  use any other media keys. All system shorcuts as well don't work.

  Note that this started at least in 14.10.

  Restarting Unity "fixes" it (or logging out/logging back), so it seems
  a race between Unity and settings daemon at startup.
