Bug Description

A variety of predefined keys used by unity cannot be rebound. (Super+t, Super+w, pretty much anything used by Unity)

If the user tries to rebind the keys using the unity-control-center -> keyboard -> shortcuts dialog, the keybindings will not function.

The dialog should at least prevent the user from rebinding these keys. There is a workaround for binding the keys which involves digging around in compizconfig-settings-manager for the guilty keybinding. ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/34145/can-i-define-keyboard-shortcuts-using-the-super-key )

Ideally, the control center should interface with unity to allow binding the keys, there shouldn't be a separate configuration app.
