Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
The 'window menu' keybinding (as well as others that use the same modifier, <Alt>) has some weird behavior when changed using either ccsm or gconf-editor. It seems to be stuck to <Alt>Button3. Here's the exact details:
Using ccsm: In General Options -> Key bindings
If I disable the key binding for 'Window Menu' or change the button (change Button3 to something else, but keep the modifier <Alt>,) the text changes, but the behavior stays the same. Also, the text reverts back to <Alt>Button3 if I close and re-open ccsm.
if I change the modifier (<Alt>) to something else (<Control> for example,) other key bindings that use the same modifier (move window is <Alt>Button1, etc) get changed to the same modifier (move window becomes <Control>Button1.) And If I change the modifier on others, 'window menu' changes too!
If I set another key binding to the same combination (set maximize window to <Alt>Button3 for example,) I get a warning message with the following options:
"Set Toggle Window Maximized anyway," "Don't set Toggle Window Maximized," "Disable Window Menu."
Choosing "Disable Window Menu" does nothing.
Using gconf-editor: In /apps/compiz/
The behavior here is somewhat similar to ccsm. If I change the button part (Button3) of 'window_
If I change the whole 'window_

This appears to be a conflict between gtk-window- decorator and compiz itself. if you kill the decorator, then Alt-Button3 acts as configured in compiz. gtk-window- decorator --minimal also seems to disable the key binding, but also disables the other decorations as well.
