To make a suggestion, if binding the Escape key is not going to produce
any result, then the interface should be configured to disallow it and a
log message should be produced for any time it is set and/or used.

So if I Click 'Grab' and Press <ctrl>Escape, then the binding should not
be set and a error box should popup.

This would make me sad, but not as sad as setting a binding and having
the setting accepted but have nothing happen when I try to use it.

Title:
  escape key bindings with or without modifiers do not work

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  All the bugs that are related to older versions of compiz are being closed.
  Since the bug still exists and it was closed due to it being old, then I need to re-create it.

  If it isn't going to be fixed for some philosophical reason, I'd like
  to see it posted here and that's fine.

  The bug is that no binding in compiz that includes the Escape key will
  work.  Evidently that is by design at some level, but Alt-Ctrl-Esc is
  a handy binding to have.

  Simply put, if you try to bind any function to the Escape key by itself or with Shift/Alt/Super/Ctrl, the 'Grab' button will allow you to assign it, but the assignment will not work and there is no error reported. 
  Not in the interface, nor in a logfile (that I can see yet).
