Comment 18 for bug 182704

I'd actually rule out Metacity because I use Compiz Fusion all the time and
experience these errors.

As for kernel, if it was a kernel bug I'd think that even shortcuts defined
in CompizConfig Settings Manager would not work either. But they do!

That leaves gnome-control-center. For now, at least.
