I just gave it a try and there is a way to avovid adding any work to 
compiz if we accept having an incorrect value if someone is using 
gnome-panel + compiz (which what I'm totally fine). unity-2d still need 
to be warned to read the unity gconf value though.

However, I saw that gnome-control-center doesn't want to assign "Alt" 
(and even showing the value) alone. Normal, it's not done for tapping :p
So I need to add the tap support and force it to show alt. It won't be a 
10 minutes hack in the end ;)

Cheers,
Didier
