I think the solution to this bug, would also take care of https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/344978

Keys that are defined in gnome should always be catched and never reach the application under focus.
This seems to me a metacity/compiz bug.

Reasoning:
  - we loose functionality in SDL games if the keys aren't being catched at a lower level of the stack
  - certain fullscreen players leave fullscreen on any keypress (like flash)
  - possible overlaps of application based shortcuts are bugs: they make the usage of the gnome-keybindings inconsistent and dangerous. (imagine alt+tab being binded to something destructive)
