Mutter shares keybindings with metacity, so the latest changes require a current version of metacity installed in the same prefix as gnome-shell. Can you confirm that it works if you do that?

After I figured out how to add metacity to jhbuild (is there an easy way?), I get this error when building metacity (with gtk3):

Could metacity be added to the default jhbuild?

Do you have any instructions on how to install metacity? And why is metacity even needed, I thought mutter was a fork of it (so it should also ship the keybinginds).

I figured it out in the meantime, here's how to get it working:

cd ~/gnome-shell/source

git clone http://git.gnome.org/browse/metacity

cd metacity

./autogen.sh --prefix ~/gnome-shell/install --enable-jhbuild-wrapper-script --disable-static --disable-gtk-doc

make && make install

gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/switch_group --type=string "<Alt>Above_Tab"

gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/switch_windows_backward --type=string "disabled"

We haven't depended on metacity for keybindings for quite some time, so this shouldn't be an issue anymore.
