Bug Description

Test case:
Install ccsm
Probably best to create a new user, login to it
Enable workspaces in system settings > appearance > behavior
Try to move up or down using the default bindings of ctrl+alt+arrow_key_up/down
Nothing happens

For some reason these two bindings are being set to super+prior & super+next (super+page_up/down here
The actual defaults are still ctrl+alt+aroow_key_up/down

More appropiate screen (last one reflected me setting prev & next to the 'real' defaults for up & down to see if it reported conflicts which it didn't

I confirm this too when I create a new user. I'll begin to investigate this.

Christopher Townsend (townsend) wrote on 2013-10-01:

So after much investigation, this is actually caused by the gsettings-desktop-schemas package. This is the offending commit: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/saucy/gsettings-desktop-schemas/saucy/revision/46#schemas/org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings.gschema.xml.in.in

Notice the changes on lines 63 and 67 where <Super>Page_Up and <Super>Page_Down are added. I think the intent was to support both sets of shortcuts, but Compiz can only handle one, so the first is chosen. Why these new shortcuts are added is not clear to me yet.

That seems to be what is causing here (could of sworn I searched thru the schemas.
Anyway if I reverse the order, recompile the glib schemas & create a new user after a restart then that user is ok.

Update - noticed one dev commented he can't reproduce

On a fresh 10/05 amd64 image

Live session (with nautilus handling the Desktop) - incorrect bindings
Fresh install of above image - orig. user - incorrect bindings
Guest account - incorrect bindings
Ist add. user created - correct bindings on 1st use, correct bindings on 2nd & subsequent log ins
2nd add. user created - incorrect bindings
3rd created user - incorrect bindings

To further muddle -
On a fresh install on different laptop with 10/03 image
orig. user - incorrect bindings
all add users - correct bindings
guest account - correct bindings

What will happen on an upgrade haven't had chance to test but would guess incorrect bindings

Also to note this isn't the only instance of where defaults are not applied to the orig. & or added users with any consistency, ck out what ctrl+alt+delete produces on current image. It should open sys monitor, (poor idea), but will usually still open the log out window even though the default is sys monitor in compiz integrated

For upgraders in prev comment meant to say 'correct bindings', at least for existing users

@Doug
I come from bug #1231828 and I upgraded an existing user (from 13.04 to 13.10) and got 'incorrect bindings'

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-settings - 13.10.8

---------------
ubuntu-settings (13.10.8) saucy; urgency=low

  * Set the keybindings for workspace up & down switching to only be
    <Ctrl><Alt>Up/Down instead of <Super>Page_Up/Page_Down since
    Compiz sometimes binds the wrong combination. (lp: #1201405)

With Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down I cannot move a window up or down to a different workspace. But I can move left and right.

Is this a different bug?
The version of ubuntu-settings I use is: 13.10.9
