Bug Description

Launch terminator
Split the window (Ctrl+Shift+o)
Press Super+t

Would expect the terminals in the tab to be grouped.

Instead, the Ubuntu Rubish Bin is displayed and the terminals are not grouped.

This is because unity is taking over the super+t key combo globally.

This is a design decision for Unity to own all Super+key combinations.
