Title:
  Keyboard shortcuts with <Alt>+<Fx> do not work in Ubuntu 12.04

Status in GNOME Shell:
  New
Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Since I updated to 12.04 customized keyboard shortcuts with <Alt>+<Fn>
  do no longer work. I can still modify the settings in System Settings
  → Keyboard → Shortcuts, but they are ignored.

  I mapped Alt+F1 and Alt+F2 to custom applications and toggle maximize
  to Alt+F5. In both Unity and Gnome Shell, as a guest user (i.e. with a
  clean profile), the settings are ignored. In Gnome shell, Alt+F1 opens
  the overview, Alt+F2 opens the command window. In Unity, Alt+F2 opens
  the overview. I only tested Alt+F5 in Gnome shell: The window is never
  maximized, only the unmaximizing works.

  In Gnome Shell, the settings do sometimes work right after I set them.
  If I for example set the Alt+F2 short cut, close the settings window
  and then press Alt+F2, nothing happens for the first few attemps and
  then one (!) window pops up eventually. After some time, the old
  behavior returns and Alt+F2 opens the command window again. After
  logging out, the settings are gone in any case.
