ctrl-alt shortcuts unreliable

[Serge Hallyn]

This happens to me on several laptops and precise, quantal, and raring.

When I hit ctrl-alt-l to lock the screen, or ctrl-alt-t to start a terminal, i frequently have to hit it several times before it happens.

This is particularly bad for locking the screen. If I'm getting up in a hurry, it's not good to have to keep looking at the screen to see if it has locked like I asked it to.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I'm not sure if it is compiz problem: I'm using fallback mode and have similar issue

[MC Return (mc-return)]

I cannot reproduce this with Compiz 0.9.10-dev on Raring anymore.
