I disagree with th closing of the bug,
of course there is no single event for "top-left", but try the following:

Reproduction:
- Set up the Desktop wall to 2x2

Then try:
- Go to the lower right viewport
- Hold <Ctrl-Alt-Up>, then push <Left>. (The viewport switches up, but not left)

And:
- Go to the lower right viewport
- Hold <Ctrl-Alt-Left>, then push <Up>. (The viewport switches left, but not up)

And:
- Go to the lower right viewport
- Now hold <Ctrl-Alt> and then hit <Left> and <Up> at pretty much the same time (No viewport switching at all, this is what the user experiences when trying to switch the viewport, nothing happening)

Interesting also:
- Go to the lower right viewport
- Hold <Ctrl-Alt-Up> until viewport has switched
- Then in addition, hold <Left> (Nothing happens)
- New release <Up> (The viewport switches left)

Now try the same procedure the other way around, e.g.:
-Start on bottom left
- Hold <Ctrl-Alt-Up> and push <Right> (The viewport switches as expected)

So the problem is actually that the overlapping impression of the keys
Left and Up leads to a blocking of either event for that time.

This is bad ux and probably easy to fix once it is acknoledged. This
problem is still present in Jaunty and is predestined for the
HundresPeperCuts project.
