Bug Description

If I go into the Unity part of CompizConfig Settings Manager and reassign the "Key to show the HUD" shortcut to anything other than <Alt>, all the other <Alt>-based shortcuts in Compiz stop working. For example, if I disable the HUD keyboard shortcut (or change it to Control, or Meta, or anything else...), then alt-tab doesn't work.

Same goes for reassigning "Key to show the launcher" to something other than <Super> -- my other <Super> shortcuts stop working.

FYI, reassigning the "Show HUD" and "Show Launcher" shortcuts worked properly in Unity 5.2. They have not worked in 5.4 or 5.6.
