Bug Description

I used to be able to set the HUD keybinding by going to System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Launchers.

The default Alt-L keybinding is very disruptive to Emacs users, so we tend to like to rebind the HUD. In my case, I want to set it to Alt-R.

On Trusty machines where the rebinding has already been done, it seems to still be the case across reboots. However, one of my machines (for some reason) always resets my custom keybindings to the default after a dist-upgrade and reboot. I used to just reset the HUD launcher back to Alt-R when that happens, but now I can't, and it's breaking my Emacs use.

Did the HUD launcher keybinding setting move to a different location in System Settings? Was it deliberately removed? If so, *please* bring back the ability to rebind the HUD launcher.
