main: clean up handling of metacity keybindings during grabs (4.86 KB, patch)

Description Dan Winship 2010-12-10 15:37:39 UTC 
pointed out by API; we need to make sure the workspace switcher doesn't work when you're in ctrl-alt-tab (and possibly other similar problems)

main: clean up handling of metacity keybindings during grabs

Although certain keys (like Ctrl-Alt-Tab and Alt-F2) should work in
the overview, we generally don't want them to work from inside each
others grabs. In particular, typing Left or Right from inside
Ctrl-Alt-Tab should navigate among focus groups, not switch
workspaces.

--

This also changes the behavior of _globalKeyPressHandler slightly;
before it was possible to exit the overview (via Super) even when
the run dialog was up. Now it's not. If the old behavior was considered
a feature, we can bring it back, although it seems like it ought to
work both ways (ie, you can use Super to enter the overview while the
run dialog is up too).

The patch depends on the patch in bug 636371.
