Keyboard shortcuts not working in Ubuntu 17.10 with Unity

I ran into this issue too with an update to Ubuntu 17.10 and switch to Unity.

To get Ctrl+Alt+T to spawn a gnome-terminal I started ccsm and went to the "Commands" item in the "General" section entering /usr/bin/gnome-terminal in "Command line 0" under the "Commands" tab and set Ctrl+Alt+T for "Run command 0" under the "Key Bindings" tab. The "Commands" item also needs to be enabled with the tick mark.

In unity-control-center under "Keyboard" and "Shortcuts" tab the "Launch terminal" in the "Launchers" section now displays "Disabled".
