Super 1..9 doesn't work when "Alt/Win key behaviour" is not default

[Luiz Felipe Rolla]

I have the "Left Alt is swapped with the Left Win" value in the "Alt/Win key behaviour" option, over at the keyboard preferences. When I try to use Alt(wich means <super> because of the option describe above)+2 to focus a different window, it doesn't work, but if I left the default option, it works nicelly.

Using Ubuntu 11.04

Confirmed. I'm using an IBM Model M keyboard that has no Windows keys, so I used the Keyboard settings application to 'Use Caps Lock as additional Super'. Afterwards, tapping my newly repurposed Caps Lock key brings up the Dash, but using it with 0-9 to launch apps pinned to the Launcher doesn't work. Neither do the Super+a, Super+f and Super+t combinations for the apps dash, files dash and Bin respectively.

However, Super+s for the workspace switcher, and Super+d and Super+w for 'show the desktop' and 'display all windows' do work.

Oddly, when I'm in the workspace switcher, I *can* launch apps with Caps Lock+0-9. They always appear on the top left workspace.

All of the behavior mentioned here is easily confirmable. Seems that certain functions of Unity are not handling the swapping of the keys correctly.

It seems like this problem has been resolved in the Oneiric beta. Everything now seems to work as expected with Caps Lock employed as Super.
