See #16 at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/204202

This bug is still present in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and is not linked to a particular keyboard layout or a particular keyboard shortcut. However it only affects Gnome Terminal and no other GTK or Gnome app.

What happens is that when using a different keyboard layout than the default one (defined in Keyboard Preferences), Gnome Terminal will ignore this setting **for keyboard shortcuts**, and always assume you're typing them using the default layout.

So if your default layout is US English, and that you are currently using a Dvorak US one, you will have to type keyboard shortcuts **as if you were using the non-Dvorak layout**, which is a real pain in the neck.
