CCSM is NOT a fix for this because the setting is not saved across
sessions. It shows as saved in CCSM but it actually isn't; every time I
restart I have to go into CCSM, unbind it and then rebind it again if I
want to be able to use Alt+Grave for something other than window
switching.

Title:
  Unity Shell Plugin hard-coded key binding

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It's possible to rebind or disable Unity's Alt-Tab key (through CCSM
  or gconf-editor), but its Alt-Grave key is hard-coded.

  This makes it impossible to use said key with compiz's other window
  switchers (unless you completely abandon unity shell).

  I thought I must just be missing wherever the option lives so I read
  the source and was surprised to see it getting hard-coded to whatever
  key is above "Tab".  Seems a rather odd choice, since all the other
  keys get handled the usual way as configurable options.
