I won't argue that, but you're subject to high variability in driver
support from hardware vs. driver vs. monitor support and bugginess
across versions of all of them. I've seen all kinds of wacky things in
different monitor combinations in gnome/unity/compiz in long-term
production use as every workstation i own. Joe's problem isn't entirely
uncommon with unity and certain invoked glitzy functions.
Additionally, since being on 12.04 various new and annoying (at best,
worst hard crash) features have been added in unity upgrades numerous
times, remapping new key functions for exciting random fits of
aggravation. I've wasted too much time figuring out what changed and
slipped in new (mostly the damn lens features that remapped the alt key
at least twice on me).
Unity is much more tolerable when disabled/gutted switching to metacity.
Use cairo-dock or awn (i use both) and you don't really miss it.

If you are talking about the key that is just to the left of the
space. That is the "meta" key. It's like CTRL, ALT or SHIFT and should
be used to get to extra functions in combination with that key. It
shouldn't really do much beyond that and shouldn't be capable of
locking up your computer.
It is used quite a bit in KDE in hotkeys that adjust the window manager.
For instance if I press META + 0 I get a magnified image around the
mouse.

In the past, I have inadvertently hit that key and had it lock up my
Linux
system.
I don't know what it is for anyway, other than as an annoying
reminder of
M$ anti-trust coercion tactics to try to make the whole world conform to
its dictates.
