I disagree, for what it's worth. In #204202, the problem is with in- program shortcuts (ctrl+z to suspend current job in Terminal) working in an unexpected way while here we are dealing with desktop shortcuts (super+t to launch Terminal) not working. Perhaps the cause is the same or close enough,

For the record, my workaround involves setting system and user layouts to be _different_ from each other. But that might be a moot point. I don't know what caused this (I don't remember doing anything other than installing chromium-browser and messing around with Gnome default browser setting),

It's interesting that you are hitting the bug without autologin. My theory so far has been that GDM does something to make the bug go away, but apparently that does not happen in your case. Maybe that's because we're using different versions? I'm running Lucid Lynx on my computer with GDM version

Actually, that's not true, that is, custom shortcuts do not necessarily work. To clarify: Shortcuts involving keys that differ on Dvorak and Sholes layout do not work when system keymap is set to Dvorak. So, for instance, alt+f4 works, as does ctrl+shift+m ('m' and 'a' are in the same position on

For what it's worth, I've noticed that it's not always the second attempt at connecting through NM that succeeds, it can be the third or fourth attempt. I only tried a couple of times without updates from NM PPA and can therefore not say for certain if it would have worked were I more persistent.
