Hey all,

Just a warning for those of us running precise:

The Alt+Ctrl+Arrow keyboard shortcut for switching workspaces has been
replaced for Super+Shift+Arrow keys.
The change makes absolutely no sense, and shows no thought for
backwards compatibility...
Bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/940085

So, before the last LTS they moved the window controls to the left,
now before this LTS they are removing a long-standing keyboard short
cut...

It's also worth nothing that the new Super+Shift+Arrow combination is
half-broken for me:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/940803
It only goes Up and Down, but not Left or Right.

Thanks,
~Stephen
