Its amazing that so many people have this issue and this bug has not yet
been fixed.  Anyway here's my (reset when idle) workaround (use at your
own risk, may have bugs etc.):

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 964270] Re: Ubuntu forgets keyboard shortcuts after a restart

2013-01-27 Thread neil king
In the preferences section in CCSM I set the Backend to Flat-File
Configuration Backend.  This caused my CCSM settings and keyboard
shortcuts to be persistent.  You'll have to do a unity --replace for the
changes to take affect though.

Title:
  Ubuntu forgets keyboard shortcuts after a restart

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  NOTE: This bug is for Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) only. If you experience
  something similar on 12.10 (quantal) or later then please refer to bug
  1063617 instead. The two releases use completely different settings
  libraries so should be treated as separate bugs.

  Note also that if you just have trouble with screen edges, that is bug
  858845.

  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
  I use Dell XPS 1640. 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.
