Ok, all the plumbings are nearly done for that, however, there is still some key shortcut to discuss.
In lucid, the compiz keys have been reviewed in length by the design team and we have conflicting ones with the new ones.

Like, Super + A -> expose all windows from all workspaces
Super + W -> expose the focused window and all window from the same application on the same workspace
Super + E -> workspace expose mode (what should become Super + W seeing above)

Note that contrary to what have been told, Super + D is doing nothing.

So, there are some conflicts with the new proposal, what should be done? Changing the experience and people upgrading from lucid or maverick will trigger false positives (habits…)? What to set to the other keybindings (for the GNOME classic session for instance, like the workspace expose mode).

Also, another question: it's quite easy to make those key localizable (like "T" or "D" for the dash make no sense in French as it's "Corbeille"). I think this is a bad idea though as we should just have one shortcut that people speaking different language can share, Just mentioning it.

I'll merge the work as soon as something has been decided :)
