Public bug reported:

after the discussion on bug #683635 and rethinking our default, we have
the ezoom plugin needed for different tasks in compiz. However, [Super]
+ using the mouse scroll enables to be in "zoomed" mode, with the mouse
tracking the position and typing there.

Even if this functionnality is "fun" and "geeky to show to others how
compiz cool is", I'm thinking about when I'm using it, and apart when I
have an issue which a flash video which doesn't want to go fullscreen, I
would say "never". I think this can be more harmful to the user who
triggers that without noticing and without any clue why "it's zoomed"
and they can't remove it.

Should we rather disable the "zoom in/zoom out/zoom box" shortcuts?
