[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

setting a super+<unused key> in compiz seems to hold so if that was the only intent then this should be marked invalid or changed to a wishlist to properly enable fix for custom shortcuts also.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Ricardo Graça (devius)]

Isn't this the same issue as bug #1078072?

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

Actually no longer see this as an issue in 13.10 & 14.04, settings that are lost there can usually be attributed to compiz & auto sorting plugins (with the notable exception of the commands plugin which over time only holds integrated commands , not user set.

The bug it was duped to was prior to this change anyway & has little chance of being fixed if even still alive so a moot point in any case
