An interesting thing, I tried to troubleshoot this issue according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting , and right after the first step, i.e. killing gnome-settings-daemon, everything became fine: gnome-settings-daemon started again automatically, but all hotkeys work smoothly, no matter what window I fire them from, they work. Does that mean that this bug is in gnome-settings-daemon or I need to carry out some more investigation? Well, at least I have some kind of workaround now.

For instance, I have these windows opened usually: Google Chrome, Terminal, Skype, Pidgin. Sometimes everything is OK and shortcuts work no matter what window I hit them from, however, hotkeys hit from Skype (most often) or Pidgin (less often) do not work time after time (just no reaction when I hit them), but they still work from Terminal or Google Chrome. Moreover, not all hotkeys are affected, the problem holds only for locking the computer (Ctrl + Alt + L) and other custom shortcuts like executing some command or launching a program (I used `zenity --entry` with `[Super | Ctrl] + [some letter: K, N, etc]` for testing). I expect that all mentioned shortcuts work no matter what window they are fired from. I also should mention, that I had no such problem on Ubuntu 11.10.
