When I press Fn-F8, which is the external display toggle hotkey, on a Dell laptop with the photo lens installed, the photo lens will be opened. Photo lens is also a default install for Quantal.

Super+p is the only way to tell Windows 8 to switch to external display. So it's expected that the hotkey on all laptops released with Windows 8 sends out the same Super+p. This is a conflict to the design of BIOS for all Windows 8 computers.

When unity-lens-photo package is removed, Fn-F8 will become a "p" key (since super key is consumed by Unity). Extern display hot key is still an issue for Quantal, but this is another bug in compiz/unity (bug 741869 and bug 950160)
