OS: Ubuntu 12.10 upgraded from 12.04.
Goal: use Ctrl+q instead of Alt+F4 to close any window (much easier to reach 
and often used)

Method 1: install dconf-editor, set
org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/close to ['<Control>q'], successfully
close windows with Ctrl+q, reboot system, the shortcut doesn't work
anymore and the key is set to ['<Alt>F4']

Method 2: install ccsm, go to General Options -> Key bindings -> Close
Window, Grab key combination (hit Ctrl+q), the binding is now set to
<Primary>q and works, reboot system, the shortcut doesn't work anymore
and the binding is set to <Alt>F4.

For some reason, ~/.config/dconf/user gets changed after rebooting.
Making this file read-only seems like a silly workaround, but it's what
I'm inclined to do next.
