In my case, I can get the Dash to come once using Super if I wait for all processing to settle down after login. But I can't get Super to bring up the Dash after that. In fact, Super won't close the Dash. I have to use ESC to close the Dash. I'm running System Load Indicator in the panel and I can see that pressing Super does result in a spike in CPU usage.

Steps to reproduce problem:
Login.
Wait till System Load Indicator shows that system is essentially idle.
Press/Release the Super key.
Dash is displayed
Select an application to run or close with ESC
Press/Relese the Super key
NO Dash is displayed, but System Load indicates CPU spike.

It doesn't matter whether there is an application visible or whether only the Desktop is visible. The Dash doesn't come up on the Super key.

I have the Launcher set to Auto Hide and I have reduced the size of the Launcher icons to better fit my Netbook screen (1024x600). I have icons visible on my Desktop screen.
