Bug Description
I'm surprisingly unable to find a report for this bug, I'm sure someone else must have noticed ;)
Back in Natty and I think early Oneiric, I was able to start a new instance of a program by doing <meta>+
It's currently no longer working for me, <meta>+<launcher id> works fine and switches to an existing instance or spawns a new one if there's none but I can't find a way of starting a new instance using only keyboard shortcuts.
Middle click on a launcher works properly though but I think we want to keep the keyboard shortcut for this.
System is up to date Oneiric with Unity 4.4.0-0ubuntu1 and Compiz 1:0.9.5.
