Still being stored as in my Ubuntu/xfce4 14.04 system.
Seriously, what motivated some software engineer to rename as
? What problem did this solve that couldn't be solved some
other way?
This is what should be done now: Track down all software that writes
"" to any config file and change it to write (or
or if you need). Also make sure that all the software
understands and converts it to when it reads a config
file.
Nonsense like this is why Linux is having so much trouble being adopted
for the general desktop. Every single damn release breaks things. I
can't stand upgrading because I know I need to fix fifty things when I
do.

Bug description:
Previously we used to call the control key but this has now
been changed in GNOME so when the control key is pressed is
returned. In compiz we set keyboard shortcuts as (for example)
.
When changing settings in gnome-control-center (for example) we will
set but in compiz we're looking for which breaks
keyboard actions.
This also affects CCSM for setting keyboard shortcuts.
