OK, I have found the two causes of this bug. Half in Unity half in
compiz.
1. As per comment #3, Unity key callbacks return false, which means
compiz should pass the keys on to apps. They should be returning true.
2. Compiz incorrectly passes the keys though to apps even if a plugin
has handled it and returned true. But only if a plugin is bound to
<modifier> and the user presses <modifier>+<other-key>. Like Unity is
bound to <Alt> and you press <Alt+F2>
** Summary changed:
