Bug Description
All the bugs that are related to older versions of compiz are being closed.
Since the bug still exists and it was closed due to it being old, then I need to re-create it.
If it isn't going to be fixed for some philosophical reason, I'd like to see it posted here and that's fine.
The bug is that no binding in compiz that includes the Escape key will work. Evidently that is by design at some level, but Alt-Ctrl-Esc is a handy binding to have.
Simply put, if you try to bind any function to the Escape key by itself or with Shift/Alt/
Not in the interface, nor in a logfile (that I can see yet).

To make a suggestion, if binding the Escape key is not going to produce any result, then the interface should be configured to disallow it and a log message should be produced for any time it is set and/or used.
So if I Click 'Grab' and Press <ctrl>Escape, then the binding should not be set and a error box should popup.
This would make me sad, but not as sad as setting a binding and having the setting accepted but have nothing happen when I try to use it.
