Title:
  Assignment of multiple navigation keybindings does not work

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

Bug description:
  Using gsettings/dconf on the command-line it should, in principle, be
  possible to assign multiple keybindings to  each action in the
  "windows" and "navigation" groups, since the keys in
  org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings are lists.

  For example:
  Action:
  In a terminal enter:
  gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings close "['Pause', '<Alt>F4']"

  Expected result:
  Pressing either Pause or Alt-F4 results in the current window being closed.

  Actual result:
  Pressing Pause (i.e. the first keybinding in the list) closes the current window but Alt-F4 has no effect.

  
  Present in Ubuntu 15.04.

  (This bug is not very important, since the graphical "System settings > keyboard > Shortcuts" permits only the definition of one keybinding per action. However, the desired functionality (allowing multiple keybindings) is more logical and should work according to the wiki page:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Keybindings
  (section org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings).
  Also, in GNOME-shell, the definition of multiple keybindings via gsettings does work.)
