Custom keyboard shortcuts for maximize and restore are broken after upgrade

[Matthew Wedgwood]

After upgrading 12.10 beta, I found that my custom maximize (ctrl-super-up) and minimize (ctrl-super-down) shortcuts weren't working. The default shortcuts (super-up, super-down) did work, and were reported in the shortcuts screen (hold super).

Re-applying the shortcuts in the keyboard shortcuts panel didn't fix them, but disabling them and re-setting them did.

Hi Matthew, this is the subject of bug 1041169. The backend to store Unity's settings was changed, from the older gconf, to gsetttings/dconf. (Excuse me if that sounds like technobabble). The older settings are not being migrated successfully. I don't know how soon this is going to be fully solvable, but take look there. Thanks.
