Hi again,

i tried several suggested workarounds or options but they didn't help.
1) Restarting unity-settings-daemon as suggested in #15 and other posts makes things unusable: all shortcuts and even my trackpad stop working completely. Only a logout helps in that case.

2) As a workaround, i do re-set some shortcuts via commandline to make them work again, e.g.: with

  gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys terminal `gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys terminal`

3!!) The most noticable thing i achieved is, that i can reproduce it by simply locking my screen. Once i unlock it, at least the terminal-shortcut (which i use most to test) stops working and i have to use (1) to make it work again.
Funnily enough, the shortcut for locking the screen never stops working....

HTH
