I can't really tell if there is a new Ubuntu policy to have a set of
non-configurable keyboard shortcuts reserved for certain programs (like
the indicator-applet).  I see open bugs on both sides of the issue (one
complaining that indicator-applet overrides user preferences, and one
complaining that indicator-applet fails to override user preferences).

If there really are supposed to be non-configurable global shortcuts,
then this really is a bug in ccsm and in gnome-keybinding-properties,
where the user should not be allowed to enter <Super>+m,  <Super>+s or
any other reserved keybindings.  There probably a documentation bug here
too, concerning global keybinding policy, but I don't know which package
that would belong to.

Note that other packages do not seem to be affected by this bug.  The
iBus preferences dialog, for instance, does not recognize <Super>+m or
<Super>+s in its keybinding dialog.  So there seems to be a genuine
issue where ccsm and in gnome-keybinding-properties are grabbing keys
differently from the window managers themselves.  Do the configuration
dialogs take over the whole X key map, instead of just (temporarily)
clearing the window manager's own mappings?
