I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and till day before yesterday, the shortcut was working perfectly. But when today I pressed it, it didn't open terminal.
The terminal app still works. I am on GNOME3 3.4.2, and I updated recently using apt-get install gnome-shell

The Keyboard shortcuts window shows no problem - enter image description here

Pls. help, what should I do now?

This is a bug of Gnome Shell. The default shortcut will not work. But a new shortcut will work as usual.

Go to Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts. Click on + to add a new shortcut,

enter image description here

At the place of Name use Gnome terminal. In place of Command use the following string,

gnome-terminal --profile=Default --geometry=95x35+250+60

Now assign the key combination (Ctrl+Alt+T) on clicking on it. Afterwards the shortcut should work.

When you're missing your Windows task, go to Keyboard Settings and click on Shortcut Menu. Then, click Windows and select the first options or use Alt+Escape.
