Adding packages gnome-settings-daemon and gsettings-desktop-schemas, as
a "fix" could be done in either.

The issue appears to be that dconf stores the keybindings in arrays of
strings, and when set there, gnome-settings-daemon will transition those
settings to gconf as defined by /usr/share/GConf/gsettings/wm-
schemas.convert.  metacity expects those keybindings to just be strings,
not lists of strings, so after the conversion, metacity can't read the
keybindings.

Possible solutions would be
1. Allow conversion to a string, which is probably a challenging task, 
especially if the array in dconf contains multiple values.  the .convert files 
would have to indicate that a type change is required, which would be a syntax 
change from existing files, and probably not worth the effort.
2. Just remove these keybindings from the .convert files.  I suspect they 
aren't really necessary.
