Bug description:
  The "Ctrl + Alt + numpad 4" and "Ctrl + Alt + numpad 6" keyboard
  shortcuts are not working in 13.04.

  See bug #878820 for the full specification of the numpad window
  placement shortcuts. Quoting from this bug:

  "Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 4 - Place window on the left side of the screen in
  *semi-maximised* state (it is important that the window is actually
  semi-maximised, not just the same size and position as a semi-
  maximised window) Pressing a second time does nothing.

  Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 6 - Place window on the right side of the screen (it
  is important that the window is actually semi-maximised, not just the
  same size and position as a semi-maximised window). Pressing a second
  time does nothing."

  HOWTO:

  The solution we want here are additional shortcuts to semi-maximize
  windows vertically and move them to left/right half of the screen...

  The best way to achieve that:

  1. Remove the changing of the standard shortcuts by debian/patches/ubuntu-config.patch, so the original ones will work again.
  2. Add 2 quasi-duplicated shortcuts with the functions to semi-maximize windows vertically and move them to left/right half of the screen to Grid and make those functions use "Ctrl + Super + Cursor Left or Right" on Ubuntu.
