Ok, I've tested this with making the change in a mutter gconf defaults and the shortcut works for all of the GNOME & Unity desktops.
Since mutter isn't translated by LP, the string "Launch Terminal" visible in the Custom Keyboard Shortcuts part of System Settings won't be translated at all for GNOME Shell users. Of course, by having the shortcut in metacity as originally proposed, it wouldn't be translated either by release date and this way at least less people are affected by the untranslated string. ** Package changed: metacity (Ubuntu) => mutter (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/952223 Title: Ctrl+Alt+T doesn't open the terminal in GNOME Shell Status in “mutter” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: As the title says, Ctrl+Alt+T will not open a terminal. Other keybindings seem to work, for instance Ctl+Alt+L does lock the screen. But, other keybindings seem broken as well, Toggle Maximization State (Ctrl+Alt+5), Maximize window (Super+up), Restore window (Super+down), and Toggle shaded state (Ctrl+Alt+S) do not seem to work either. The other I can personally live without, I didn't really know that the existed until now, but I used to use the binding for the terminal all of the time.
