Bug#596489: metacity: Two keystrokes needed to switch desktops

I found a workaround to this problem. I moved ~/.gconf out of the way,
logged out, and logged in again. Then C-M-Right/Left behaved as I would
expect.
This is suboptimal since it then took me a couple of hours to reset all
of my settings.
When I do a diff of the old and new settings, I see the following
differences in /apps/metacity/window_keybindings:
- move_to_workspace_right = <Control><Alt>Right
- move_to_workspace_left = <Control><Alt>Left
+ move_to_workspace_right = <Control><Shift><Alt>Right
+ move_to_workspace_left = <Control><Shift><Alt>Left
I suspect that the old settings were wreaking havoc with the new version
of metacity. It would be good for metacity to recognize this issue in
the configuration and ask the user to update the config accordingly.
Thanks!
