compiz settings displays keybindings scattered around 20 places

Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

there is one place in gnome for displaying keyboard shortcuts: settings - keyboard shortcuts.

compiz does not obey this rule and displays its keyboard shortcuts in "compiz". to make it even worse, every plugin thinks it has to display its shortcut in a place of its own.

while compiz is brilliant from a feature view, this seems to make compiz a catastrophe from a accessibilty point of view.

I'm unmarking this as a duplicate, setting as a Wishlist item, and confirming it because while part of this bug duplicates the bug 257878, these are not exactly the same. The issue with Compiz not having a screen where ALL keyboard shortcuts for Compiz can be viewed at once is a problem. As it stands, each plugin's keyboard shortcuts are in separate screens, so a shortcut overview window would be nice.

So the trouble with this bug is that it'd require rewriting CCSM pretty much
entirely from scratch. It sounds rather odd to me, but the entire interface
is generated programatically--I assume based on a DB of plugins and actions.
