Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

The 'window menu' keybinding (as well as others that use the same
modifier, <Alt>) has some weird behavior when changed using either ccsm
or gconf-editor. It seems to be stuck to <Alt>Button3. Here's the exact
details:

Using ccsm: In General Options -> Key bindings
If I disable the key binding for 'Window Menu' or change the button (change Button3 to something else, but keep the modifier <Alt>,) the text changes, but the behavior stays the same. Also, the text reverts back to <Alt>Button3 if I close and re-open ccsm.

if I change the modifier (<Alt>) to something else (<Control> for
example,) other key bindings that use the same modifier (move window is
<Alt>Button1, etc) get changed to the same modifier (move window becomes
<Control>Button1.) And If I change the modifier on others, 'window menu'
changes too!

If I set another key binding to the same combination (set maximize window to <Alt>Button3 for example,) I get a warning message with the following options:
"Set Toggle Window Maximized anyway," "Don't set Toggle Window Maximized," "Disable Window Menu."
Choosing "Disable Window Menu" does nothing.


Using gconf-editor: In /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options
The behavior here is somewhat similar to ccsm. If I change the button part (Button3) of 'window_menu_button' field, the text changes, but nothing happens. But unlike ccsm, it doesn't revert back if I close and re-open gconf-editor. Also, If I change the modifier part (<Alt>,) other key bindings with the same modifier change too.

If I change the whole 'window_menu_button' field to 'Disabled' or empty
(''), it actually gets disabled (first thing that works correctly.) And
I can assign <Alt>Button3 to another field and it works. However, if I
run ccsm or restart the computer, window_menu_button gets re-bound to
<Alt>Button3, but the text in gconf-editor stays on the values I
entered. If I click on that field and press Enter even without changing
anything, it works as expected again (until I run ccsm or restart the
computer again..)
