Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Start a Desktop using Compiz/Unity, go to an *empty* workspace.
Create or add something on the desktop, *select it*, then try to remove it with "Shift + Del":
 a dialog with "are you sure you want to delete this.." pops up, as expected.
Now re-do the same on a non-empty workspace (open something, anything, like a terminal or an editor).
After "Shift + Del", nothing happens. Depending on the type of window on the workspace, you may see that that window received the action instead of nautilus.

Worth mentioning, i use:
s0_click_to_focus = false
s0_raise_on_click = false
s0_autoraise = false
(hence the "select it" enhanced above)

It's a regression compared to the Classic Desktop with Metacity.

This bug should get an high importance, because if a nautilus window is open and a file/directory has been selected, a "Shift+Del" on a file on Desktop will execute a deletion in the nautilus window!
