Hy,

This bug random time happening with Ubuntu 12.04.1 too, affected desktop 
environments is GNOME3 fallback session, Unity 2d session. Both two 
desktop environments I experienced this issue. If this bug happening, 
impossible to use common keybindings (ALT+F4, ALT+TAB, etc) until I not 
deleting entire .gconf/apps/metacity folder, not logout and login back.
Lot of users wrote this problem with Ubuntu Accessibility and Orca 
mailing lists, some time happening this bug after a fresh installation.

If an user not known what folder need erasing when experiencing this 
bug, he impossible to use he's system with keyboard. Visualy impaired 
users only possible to use he's system with keyboard navigation.

Fortunately in Quantal already not existing this issue, I newer 
experienced this issue, so only Precise affected.

I think the bug related with following Metacity changes with Precise, 
but I am not full sure this:
   * debian/metacity-common.gconf-defaults:
     - change the shortcuts as per design request: (LP: #969235)
       Ctrl + Super + D Minimises all windows
       Ctrl + Super + Cursor up Maximises the current window
       Ctrl + Super + Cursor down Restores or minimises current window
This patch released in Metacity 1:2.34.1-1ubuntu10 version.

Another possibility:
   * debian/patches/101_override_gconf_settings.patch:
     - gives a way to override gconf settings by a keyfile. This is
       useful in case of late fallback (after the logging manager)
       (LP: #791205)
This patch released in Metacity 1:2.34.1-1ubuntu2 version.

If have possibility, please fix this bug in Metacity.
Temporary I change this bug status with high.

Attila
