Title:
  unable to change the Alt+F2 shortcut (Run a command)

Status in unity-2d:
  Invalid
Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity-2d

  setting ccsm->"ubuntu unity plugin"->"Key to execute a command" to
  anything other than Alt+F2, disables unity-2d-launcher's "Run a
  command"

  The problem is reproducible on several machines.

  To set vanilla configuration, I did the following:
  - unity --reset
  - dpkg-reconfigure unity*
  - enabling/disabling Gnome Compatibility in ccsm 
  - rm -rf ~/.gconf 
  ..etc

  None of the this helped. Changing the shortcut is still broken.

  As a hackish workaround, I changed the default shortcut to my
  combination of choice,  Alt+R, and recompiled unity2d-launcher:
