Bug Description

I always remap some of the basic key bindings in various compiz plugins to suit my needs but I've noticed that both in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 the key bindings get randomly reverted to their default values.

Here's the list of my custom key bindings that get affected by this bug:

Gnome Compatibility plugin:
CTRL+ALT + T remapped to SUPER+T (open terminal)

General Options:
CTRL+ALT+D remapped to SUPER+D (show desktop)

Desktop Wall:
all CTRL+ALT+ARROW KEYS remapped to SUPER+ARROW KEYS (move within wall)
all CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+ARROW KEYS remapped to SUPER+SHIFT+ARROW KEYS (move window within wall)

Move Window:
ALT+MOUSE1 remapped to SUPER+MOUSE1 (move window)

These custom bindings get reverted to their original values at random and not all at once. I noticed that this usually happens when I open the Unity plugin without even changing any values there but I'm not 100% sure whether this is the real reason.

I do have some custom bindinds in the Unity plugin as well. They don't get reverted but maybe this is somehow related. Here's the list:

ALT remapped to Alt+F3 (show HUD)
SUPER to CTRL+SUPER (show Dash)
