unity keyboard shortcuts are not stored in gsettings, require evil CCSM to change or disable

[Chad Miller]

Ubuntu configuration is stored in editable config files or gsettings, all except for Compiz. Unity is doing the wrong thing in continuing to use Compiz config files to store things that are the user's purview to change.

I insist on having <Alt>F1 and <Alt>F2 to use on my own terms, and no amount of setting key shortcuts in Settings / Keyboard / Shortcuts will make <Alt>F1 available to me. As long as Keyboard Shortcuts is in Settings, ALL settings should be set and read from that. Worse, the keyboard-settings tool can't even check and warn me that keyboard shortcuts that are claimed by Unity conflict with what I'm setting, because it doesn't know about Compiz or its billion plugins.

Compiz Settings is the wrong place to store settings that a user should be able to change. All user-facing configuration should be in gsettings.
