Title:
  Setting Ctrl-Tab as the shortcut to switch workspaces gives different
  behaviour to other key combos

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: metacity

  fergal@notpot:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Release:	10.04

  Not entirely sure if this is in metacity, please redirect if
  necessary.

  When I set Ctrl-Tab as the key combo for "Switch to the workspace on
  the right of the current workspace" it works but it behaves oddly.

  When I hold Ctrl down and hit Tab once, I move one to the right and
  the desktop list is visible.

  When I hit Tab again, the desktop list disappears and I don't move.

  When I hit Tab a 3rd time, I move one to the right and the desktop
  list is visible.

  When I hit it Tab 4th time, the desktop list disappears again and I
  don't move.

  And so on.

  So if I want to move N desktops to the right I have to press Tab 2*N
  times.

  For other key combos (including Ctrl-Alt-Right, the default), the
  desktop list does not disappear and every press of Right Arrow causes
  a move to the right.
