Bug description:
  Currently Unity provides about two dozen keyboard shortcuts which are
  completely hardcoded.

  It is essenetial from a productivity standpoint for the user to be
  able to configure any of those.  It was possible with Metacity /
  Compiz through the Keyboard Shortcuts window.  The same interface
  could be used for Unity for updating its configuration and possibly
  featuring few Unity-specific keybindings.

  ------------------------

  Desired resolution:

  - All the unity keyboard shortcuts (defined in the following document, https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1jqeKtIJwqLtl58Wk_fqjr9Rrgxn9zsouCYOo-cZsLSE/edit?hl=en_GB ) should be present and configurable using the 'Keyboard/Shortcuts' panel in 'System Settings'
  - Any keyboard shortcuts that are not supported by Unity should be removed.

  Review the following keyboard shortcut bugs before fixing this bug:
  - F10 shortcut is used to show menu and this is wrong (bug #878492)
  - Ctrl Alt Del doesn't do what most people typing it would expect (bug #890747)
  - Unity window placement shortcuts require a numpad (bug #751050)
  - Add keyboard shortcut hint overlay that is displayed when a user presses and holds the Super key (bug #855532)
  - The grid keybindings are behaving inconsistently (bug #878820)
  - Make Unity keyboard shortcuts configurable (bug #775434)
  - Shortcuts need to updated as part of the 12.04 upgrade (bug #891757)
  - Unity should also use Super-L to lock screen by default (bug #830709)
  - Improvements to Launcher reveal when Super is pressed behaviour (bug #905342)
