Bug Description
After upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 Precise global shortcuts began to depend on current layout, which is not how it's supposed to be.
Say, I assign the global shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D to run an application. But if I have Russian layout selected in the current application, the system translates it into Ctrl+Alt+
*Global* shortcuts should not depend on current keyboard layout in the application.

I seem to identify the cause of the issue. As of Precise global shortcuts began to depend on current layout, which is wrong.
Say, I assign the global shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D to run an application. But if I have Russian layout selected in the current application, the system translates it into Ctrl+Alt+ Shift+" Cyrillic ve" and ignores it.
Global shortcuts depending on current keyboard layout in the application is a sort of nonsense, I suppose.
