Description Mehdi 2005-11-15 16:30:38 UTC 
Allowing to keep the function keys (<Control> and <Alt>) pressed after having
switched between desktops (<Ctrl> and <Alt> arrow keys for example) to launch an
application with shortcuts keys of type <Ctrl> + <Alt> + key.

Other information:
As example, if I'm on the desktop number 1, and I want to switch to desktop
number 2 and launch firefox with <Control> + <Alt> + f, presently I have to
press <Ctrl> + <Alt> + Right, the release all keys, then press <Control> + <Alt>
+ f.
I would like to only have to release the Right key.

Hum sorry, I had browsed all (?) the metacity bugs without using the search
