Comment 4 for bug 671459

In Compiz 0.9.4.0 as shipped with Ubuntu 11.04 this bug still affects me. I am not using Unity, but "classic gnome". When I close the last window on a workspace using key bindings, so that no window has focus any more, key bindings cease to work. I first noticed this happening if Nautilus is running without drawing the desktop (I use Compiz's wallpaper plugin). However, the problem did not go away if I re-enabled Nautilus's desktop.

Perhaps this is naive, but why doesn't Compiz process key bindings independently of whether any window has focus? Focus state seems hardly relevant for key bindings for, e.g., Desktop Wall.
