Bug Description

When compiz is enabled it does not select anything in Visual Effects at all, everything is disabled. It also kills all Alt-related key combinations. I used Compiz Fusion Icon to switch to metacity, which set the Visual Effects to "none". When Visual Effects are set to none everything works properly. If it is set to normal or extra I lose all alt-related key combinations. When switching to "none" when compiz is enabled, it disables compiz.

Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

compiz:
  Installed: 1:0.8.2-0ubuntu8.1
  Candidate: 1:0.8.2-0ubuntu8.1
  Version table:
 *** 1:0.8.2-0ubuntu8.1 0
        500 http://jp.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:0.8.2-0ubuntu8 0

This problem either resides in compiz or Visual Effects (I would lean more towards a mixture of the two. Compiz should not be disabling Visual Effects, and Visual Effects should not be disabling Compiz. But If i had to choose one over the two, I'd say it's a problem with Visual Effects as changing these manually in Visual Effects still produces the problem.)
