Bug Description

I have the "Move" plugin in compiz to move windows with the <Super>+Button1 binding, but this gets reset to <Alt>+Button1 everytime I start Ubuntu. Other settings seem to be at fault too: I have two commands with keyboard bindings in the "Commands" plugin, but they disappear after Ubuntu starts.
