Bug Description

After a typical installation with the desktop CD, changes to keyboard shortcuts settings do not have any effect. The default settings are still usable. Desktop effects are turned on.

Add:

I'm now running a fresh install of 8.04.1, with all updates applied. The problem is still there. I changed the shortcut for switching to the workspace on the right, to 0xe9, the ThinkPad-specific key above "->". Then, press 0xe9 did nothing, ctrl+alt+"->" still works.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
