In Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot it is pretty easy to add a custom shortcut. Just clink the icon on the upper right of the screen, then System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts ( I'm not sure if this names are exact since my Ubuntu is in portuguese, but it should be something like this ). Then you just have to click the "+" to add a new shortcut, name it and write it's command. After that, apply and then define the keypresses that will call such command. As an example, I defined a shortcut named Banshee which calls the command "banshee" when I press Shift+F4.

Pretty easy, right? However, if you use desktop effects you won't be able to add a shortcut that runs a script the same way, since metacity is not your window manager. Compiz is.
