Is there any way to identify which application is hijacking a keyboard shortcut?

Question

Some application on my system (Ubuntu Linux 13.0) is hijacking a specific keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Space). I don't know which one it is and would like to identify it.

How can I do this?

Your core question was the main point of Manipulating X key and pointer grabs on the command line for which I didn't find an answer that actually worked. — Gilles 'SO- stop being evil', Dec 23 '14 at 21:55

ibus is known to do this (at least on 14.04)

see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1278569

Thanks, that was it (though it doesn't answer my question directly). – syntagma Dec 23 '14 at 16:46
