indicator-messages hijacks Alt+F10 keystrokes

[Andrew Glen-Young]

I have been using Gnome + Compiz for quite some time and have trained myself to maximize windows using the Alt+F10 combination [1][2].

I have changed the default binding from Super+Up to Alt+F10 within the Keyboard shortcuts application, however when I press Alt+F10 the messages indicator menu pops up instead of maximizing my window.

While I am not adverse to retraining myself to use another shortcut (although I'd prefer not to), the fact that the messages indicator hijacks Alt+F10 regardless of keybindings is most certainly a bug.

First, Unity sets the shortcuts, not the indicators. Second, which version of Ubuntu, Unity and indicator-messages are you using?
