Bug Description

When I change the default Show Launcher keybinding from the default <Super> to something else such as <Shift><Super> or <Ctrl><Super> the expo key isn't reactive to it's expected setting (<Super>s) but reacts to <show_launcher_keybinding>s.

This only affects the Expo *key*, I've set the Expo button to <Super>Button 2 and it still triggers whenever I change the Show Launcher keybinding.

This is also true for for other plugins such as Grid, the same behavior can be seen with <Super>Left and <Super>Right (except that <Super><Shift>Left or Right doesn't work)

If the Show Launcher shortcut is completely disabled, then none of the keybindings starting with <Super> work.

Unity was unable to start when booting so I had to disable all key bindings, using a terminal, in order to disable key bindings and get unity to work.
