here is some more troubleshooting:

0. rebooted the system

1. created a bash script, that just appends current date and time to a some log file:
    #!/bin/bash
    date >> ~/date.log

2. went to System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts, created a new shortcut with command /home/stepank/log.sh and bound it to Ctrl + Shift + M

3. opened console, typed tail -f ~date.log, opened several windows (Skype, Pidgin, Google Chrome, gedit) and pressed Ctrl + Shift + M from all the windows, so far everything worked fine, i saw several new lines with date in console

4. after about 10 minutes the hotkey stopped working if it is fired from gedit (if i hit it from gedit, there appears no new lines in the log, if i hit it from any other window, new lines readily appear)

5. killed gnome-settings-daemon, the hotkey stopped working at all

6. ran xev | sed -n 's/^.*state \([0-9].*\), keycode *\([0-9]\+\) *\(.*\), .*$/keycode \2 = \3, state = \1/p' to grab events. pressing Ctrl + Shift + M with focus on Event Tester resulted in the following lines written in console:
    keycode 37 = (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), state = 0x0
    keycode 50 = (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), state = 0x4
    keycode 58 = (keysym 0x4d, M), state = 0x5
    keycode 58 = (keysym 0x4d, M), state = 0x5
    keycode 50 = (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), state = 0x5
    keycode 37 = (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), state = 0x4
This looks ok. According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting, this is a desktop issue, what should i do next and what information is needed to move this bug to Confirmed state?
