Not sure whether it indeed is a duplicate of bug #945144, so removing the link for now.

Thank you for your bug report, could you run "gsettings-data-convert --file=/usr/lib/compiz/migration/compiz-profile-active-Default.convert" and copy the log there?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you run "gsettings-data-convert --file=/usr/lib/compiz/migration/compiz-profile-active-unity.convert" as well?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

one of the duplicates has

" g_settings_schema_get_value (schema=schema@entry=0x1e92440, key=key@entry=0x1e98d20 "alt-tab-bias_viewport") at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.33.10/./gio/gsettingsschema.c:640
 g_settings_schema_key_init (key=key@entry=0x7fff092aeef0, schema=0x1e92440, name=name@entry=0x1e98d20 "alt-tab-bias_viewport") at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.33.10/./gio/gsettingsschema.c:751
 g_settings_set_value (settings=settings@entry=0x1e845e0, key=key@entry=0x1e98d20 "alt-tab-bias_viewport", value=0x1e998a0) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.33.10/./gio/gsettings.c:1350"

not sure if all bugs there have the same issue, for those who reported a duplicate having the output of those command and it they raise an error would be useful;

gsettings-data-convert --file=/usr/lib/compiz/migration/compiz-profile-active-Default.convert
gsettings-data-convert --file=/usr/lib/compiz/migration/compiz-profile-active-unity.convert

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Confirmed, the .convert from compiz list alt-tab-bias_viewport but the key is names -viewport

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

looking to the .convert those keys are also - vs _ buggy
top-edge_action
top-edge_threshold
toggle-window_maximized-button

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

ok, to complete the list:

alt-tab-detail_start
close_window_button
panel-first_menu
