Super+Letter shortcuts not working in GNOME Shell classic session

[Attila Hammer]

Dear Developers,

I using Ubuntu 13.10 with GNOME Shell new classic session mode. When I tryed defining some super+letter shortcuts, this shortcuts are not worked my system. For example in Terminal simple typed the shortcut letter.
Two testcases with reproduced this issue:
1. Launch GNOME Control Center, and click the keyboard preference tool.
2. Goto the shortcuts page, search the icons section, and try define the launch web browser shortcut with SUPER+W keystroke.
Expected result: when press super+w keystroke, webbrowser will be start.
Actual result: nothing happening.
If I tryed super+alt+w keystroke, the webbrowser right start.

Second testcase with custom bindings related:
1. Goto custom bindings section.
2. Click Add button.
3. Type Gedit related names and command fields (launch Gedit, /usr/bin/gedit).
4. Click add button.
5. Try define the new created command a shortcut (for example Super+g keystroke).
Expected result: when press Super+G keystroke, gedit will be launching.
Actual result: nothing happening, for example in gnome-terminal will be typed the g letter.

Hi,

I upgraded with Ubuntu Trusty development release and looked this issue.
Issue is reproduced, except a difference:
When I bind for example with launch web browser command the super+w keystroke, the new keystroke executing only when I press twice the w letter.
So, I need hold down the super key and press two time the w letter to launch the web browser.
Possible fixing this issue without lost the present owerlay pane the Super key binding?

Unfortunately the bug still happening in Ubuntu 14.04 development release, the packaged gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.6.1-0ubuntu2 version
Temporary I builded a clean upstream gnome-settings-daemon from git. After installation and restart I not experienced this issue, so the problem I think producing a downstream level patch.
Possible patches with affecting this issue:
fix_media_keys_on_unity.patch
fix_input_switching_on_unity.patch
unity-modifier-media-keys.patch
