Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
* Using Unity, note that Ctrl+Alt+T opens the terminal by default. This is handled by the Gnome Compatibility plugin in Compiz.
* In the Keyboard panel of gnome-control-center, note that this shortcut is not listed.
* Add a custom shortcut to open a different application and assign it the key sequence "Ctrl+Alt+T". The settings panel does not indicate that this shortcut is in use. However, Ctrl+Alt+T will continue to be handled by Compiz.

Since my upgrade to Oneiric, I'm having the same problem. When trying to assign alt+1 to "switch to workspace 1".
gnome-control-panel is happy to let me do it, but when I try to use it I get a completely different behavior.

One correction... sometimes, alt+1 works as expected and it "switch to workspace 1". But sometimes it doesn't (and display the list of windows, somehow like alt+tab). :P
