Bug Description

When using Shift-Supper-Arrow to move between virtual desktops, the new key mapping often makes the Unity dash and Launcher appear, which is infuriating. In addition to this, if I am browing around desktops, the Unity shortcuts list (which is displayed by holding down Super) also appears.

Yep, that is pretty infuriating.

Luckily we are moving the keybindings back to ctrl+alt + arrows.

The problem is still there though if someone rebinds them to super + anything. So we do need to fix this.

summary:	- Keyboard shortcut for moving virtual desktops brings up dash and - shortcuts pane + super+anything keyboard shortcut for moving virtual desktops brings up + dash and shortcuts pane
