Bug Description
With normal QWERTY keyboard layout (ie) on Ubuntu, the keyboard shortcut to launch a terminal is CTRL + ALT + T.
When I change to USA/Dvorak, I should expect to press CTRL + ALT + K on my physical keyboard, as 'K' corresponds to 'T' in Dvorak.
However, I actually have to use the old QWERTY key combination with my Dvorak layout, which would print as CTRL + ALT + K, to launch a terminal.

From other installations displaying the same problem with different keyboard layouts, I can say that the issue is that the CTRL + ALT + ? key combination is always expected by Unity to be in the default keyboard layout.
