Doing some more playing, I find that my custom keyboard shortcuts are set as expected when viewed in gconf-editor ( /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/move_to_workspace_up etc and /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/switch_to_workspace_up etc) but that doesn't make compiz (or whatever) use them. The view in the keyboard shortcuts settings dialog does correspond with what the keys do, and changing the shortcuts there does change them. Not sure if gconf is actually meant to be used or not ...

I'm using the latest ubuntu 12 and updated everything as of today. I assign some shortcuts for music to ubuntu keyboard shortcuts such as when i press ALT + X the music plays/pauses. However, after I restart the system, ubuntu forgets them and I have to reconfigure it everytime. I am new to Ubuntu but willing to help on debugging if it is simple and not technical.
