This behaves very weirdly for me, even with the update to

$ dpkg -s gnome-settings-daemon
...
Version: 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1
...

from saucy-proposed. On one computer (let's call it "desktop"), my
shortcuts stopped working except in gnome-screensaver: I used to use
"Both Shift keys together switch the layout" option in the past.
Shift_L, Shift_R for ISO_Next_Group and Shift_R, Shift_L for
ISO_Prev_Group.

On another (let's call it "laptop") they worked once I set them up, but
they were recorded as "Shift + Next_Group" and "Shift + Prev_Group". I
haven't tried updating laptop to the -proposed version, but judging from
the ChangeLog, I assume that will stop working now as well.

I don't have keyboard layout set in xorg.conf on either of the machines.
Setting the key directly using gsettings to a value that works on my
laptop (or to "['<Shift_R><Shift_L>']") didn't help on my desktop. I'll
switch to defining shortcuts and layouts with setxkbmap directly (oh,
the good ol' times :) hoping that will help.
