Public bug reported: i) Steps to reproduce
1) Open keyboard shortcut settings 2) Add a test shortcut 3) assign a single key to the shortcut. Normally a laptop special key is set here ii) Expected result Shortcuts set this way just work. iii) Actual result No effect whatsoever. An interesting side note: If you have the key bound to some action with xbindkeys, it will not work initially after starting unity. If you then assign the key to a specific action in the keyboard settings, it will still not work. Buf after having removed the key again from the shortcut settings, xbindkeys takes over and from there on the xbindkeys shortcut works for the rest of the session. I must admit I'm a bit baffled that such a bug slipped into a release. The whole shortcut system is a mess (self resetting shortcuts on every login, this...).
