Bug Description
The "Ctrl + Alt + numpad 4" and "Ctrl + Alt + numpad 6" keyboard shortcuts are not working in 13.04.
See bug #878820 for the full specification of the numpad window placement shortcuts. Quoting from this bug:
"Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 4 - Place window on the left side of the screen in *semi-maximised* state (it is important that the window is actually semi-maximised, not just the same size and position as a semi-maximised window) Pressing a second time does nothing.
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 6 - Place window on the right side of the screen (it is important that the window is actually semi-maximised, not just the same size and position as a semi-maximised window). Pressing a second time does nothing."
HOWTO:
The solution we want here are additional shortcuts to semi-maximize windows vertically and move them to left/right half of the screen...
The best way to achieve that:
1. Remove the changing of the standard shortcuts by debian/
2. Add 2 quasi-duplicated shortcuts with the functions to semi-maximize windows vertically and move them to left/right half of the screen to Grid and make those functions use "Ctrl + Super + Cursor Left or Right" on Ubuntu.

I have issues with ctrl + alt + numpad (4 | 6). All other shortcuts seem to work. 12.04 was an upgrade for me from 11.10 which was an upgrade from 11.04 if that makes any difference.
