You describe a different bug then the one I suffered from. For me, the keyboard functionality was completely lacking.

When I logged into unity and only the desktop was loaded, I had this behaviour:

Pressing super key: nothing, no dash came up
Pressing alt key: nothing, no hud came up
Pressing F10: nothing, no menu came up
Pressing ctrl+alt+t: nothing, no terminal came up
Pressing ctrl+alt+right: nothing, no switch to the right window

Pressing on the launcher, I start any program. As soon, as it is loaded, all the keys are working. But now - pressing ctrl+alt+right - and so switching to an again empty desktop - that's it. On the blank desktop again, non of the keys didn't work.

I already erased my disk - reinstalled again, first Oneiric Ocelot, applied all updates, after that I updated via update-manager -d to Precise Pangolin, applied all updates, logged first into Unity - and the same bug as before, means - blank desktop - and no controlling keys are working.

The machine, that happens is a Asus Eee PC 1000H with 2 GB Ram.
