Public bug reported:

When I define key bindings through CompizConfig Settings Manager, they
are lost on restart. For instance, I can <Super>+arrow to move between
viewports in the Desktop Wall, but those are lost after I log out. I
have to manually set the key bindings every time I log in.

I can't set these as a script, because (I think ) of the problem explained at  http://askubuntu.com/questions/247247/compiz-plugins-schemas-not-found-with-gsettings 
	

I have installed the extra plugins (compiz-plugins) for CompizConfig
Settings Manager (compizconfig-settings-manager) and am trying to change
these settings from the command line using gsettings.

The problem is none of these schemas are found by gsettings list-
recursively and I can't understand why.

Based on my understanding, the schemas are found through the environment
variable XDG_DATA_DIRS which currently is this (the default with Ubuntu
12.10):

ben@ben-HPdv6:~$ echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS 
/usr/share/ubuntu:/usr/share/gnome:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/

By searching for schema files using the locate command I have found what
I believe to be the missing schema files as follows:

ben@ben-HPdv6:~$ locate .schemas | grep "compiz"

/usr/share/gconf/schemas/compiz-workarounds.schemas
/usr/share/gconf/schemas/compiz-workspacenames.schemas

They are all there in /usr/share/gconf/schemas which is within
/usr/share/ which is part of the default schema lookup environment
variable XDG_DATA_DIRS. So I don't understand why they aren't appearing
in gsettings?

Is there a 'refresh schemas list' command I am missing or does it not
look recursively in a directory (seems weird cause there also other
schema files in this directory) or am I not correctly understanding how
gsettings works?
