Public bug reported:

Every time I restart my computer the 'bindings' set up during the
session are not saved. Example:

Set up upper right corner of screen to trigger 'expo mode' (super + w) with mouse pointer. I use CCSM for that.
In CCSM go to window management menu, Scale submenu and bindings tab.
Select upper rigt corner in Initiate Window Picker for all windows. It works fine.
Restart your system.
Open a few windows and try to trigger expo mode with upper right corner with mouse pointer. It does not work.
Go back to CCSM, option is still selected there but does not work.
Have to reset setting and select again to have it working every time i restart.

User preferences should be stored upon restart
