Title:
  keyboard shortcuts UI issues; fails to set shortcut

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  Fresh install of 9.10 karmic into VMWare running on 8.10.

  Keyboard Shortcuts are mangled under 9.10 karmic.  (They may be mangled
  under previous releases, but I didn't ever try to use them.  This is my
  first try to use Gnome instead of vtwm.)

  Watch this:

  9.10 Karmic: Open System | Preferences | Keyboard Shortcuts.

  Verfify that "Move between windows immediately | ALT+Escape" is working.
  Disable it with "Backspace".
  BUG: The UI shows "Disabled", but ALT+Escape still moves between windows.

  At this point, the UI should show no mapping for ALT+Escape, but the
  shortcut still tries to move between windows.

  Map "Switch to workspace on the left of the current workspace" to
    "ALT+Escape" and verify that it works (bringing up a little desktop
    viewer menu that says "Desk 1").
  Disable it with "Backspace".
  BUG: The UI shows "Disabled", but ALT+Escape still switches workspaces.

  At this point, the UI should again show no mapping for ALT+Escape, but the
  shortcut still tries to switch workspaces.

  Map "Move between windows immediately" to "ALT+Escape" again.
  Try to use it.
  BUG: It doesn't work - ALT+Escape still tries to switch workspaces.
  Disable it with "Backspace".
  BUG: The UI shows "Disabled", but ALT+Escape still switches workspaces.

  At this point, the UI should again show no mapping for ALT+Escape, but the
  shortcut still tries to switch workspaces.

  Map "Switch to workspace on the left of the current workspace" to
    "ALT+Escape" and verify that it works (bringing up a little desktop
    viewer menu that says "Desk 1").
  Map "Move between windows immediately" to "ALT+Escape".  The UI warns you
    that you are re-assigning the shortcut.  Say "Reassign".  The UI shows
    that the shortcut moves from "Switch workspace" to "Move between".
  Try to use it.
  BUG: It still doesn't work - ALT+Escape still tries to switch workspaces.
  Disable it with "Backspace".
  BUG: The UI shows "Disabled", but ALT+Escape still switches workspaces.

  At this point, the UI should again show no mapping for ALT+Escape, but the
  shortcut still tries to switch workspaces.

  Map "Switch to workspace on the left of the current workspace" to
    "ALT+1" and verify that it works (bringing up a little desktop viewer
    menu that says "Desk 1").
  Now try ALT+Escape (which the UI shows as not being mapped).
  BUG: ALT+Escape now moves between windows again, even though it doesn't 
    show anywhere in the UI, and wasn't mapping correctly a moment ago.

  Disable "Switch to workspace on the left of the current workspace".
  BUG: ALT+1 still tries to switch workspaces.

  At this point, the UI should show no mapping for ALT+Escape, but the
  shortcut still tries to move between windows.

  At this point, the UI should show no mapping for ALT+1, but the
  shortcut still tries to switch workspaces.

  Map "Move between windows immediately" to "ALT+1".
  Try to use it.
  BUG: It doesn't work - ALT+1 still tries to switch workspaces.
  ALT+Escape, which was working, even though it shouldn't,
  has now stopped working and doesn't do anything.

  This is unusable.
