[Bug 1324451] [NEW] shortcut changes not persistent

[Wybo Dekker]

Public bug reported:

When I change the shortcut left_workspace_key from Ctrl-Alt-Left to Ctrl-Left 
that works fine. Same for right_workspace_key.
However, after reboot, the shortcut does not work anymore, although the 
graphical interface to the settings manager still says that the shortcut is 
Ctrl-Left.

Before changing the shortcuts, the config file contains:

    <property name="&lt;Control&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;Left" type="string" 
value="left_workspace_key"/>
    <property name="&lt;Primary&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;Right" type="string" 
value="right_workspace_key"/>

(why Control for the first and Primary for the other??)

After changing, the original settings are still there:

    <property name="&lt;Control&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;Left" type="string" 
value="left_workspace_key"/>
    <property name="&lt;Primary&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;Right" type="string" 
value="right_workspace_key"/>
    <property name="&lt;Primary&gt;Left" type="string" 
value="left_workspace_key"/>
    <property name="&lt;Primary&gt;Right" type="string" 
value="right_workspace_key"/>

A possible solution is to remove the original setting by editing the
config file. However, whenever any other shortcut is changed (not just
cleared), the removed settings are set back again.
