I have a very strange problem on my Ubuntu 11.10 desktop with Gnome-shell 3.3.2. The default shortcut to open the terminal, CTRL+ALT+T does not work. If I try to change the shortcut to another shortcut (just testing) it also doesn't work. Can anyone help me?

In gconf-editor set the key
/apps/compiz-1/plugins/gnomecompat/screen0/options/command_terminal
to gnome-terminal --maximize
On current Ubuntu metacity is no longer the default window manager, so the accepted solution no longer works. Instead there's a different setting that you can change. Set the key combination to an empty array.
In a terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys terminal '[]'
To undo the change again
gsettings reset org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys terminal
In case this changes again, I found this by looking for all settings that mention "terminal"
gsettings list-recursively | grep terminal
I had this problem because it interferes with an Emacs keybinding to transpose sexps.

It looks like that the default terminal app is not there (not listed)... make a custom shortcut for gnome-terminal and assign CTRL+ALT+T to key combination to it and see if it works. If it does I'm right and leave it just as it is. If not post a comment ;)
