  1. Shortcut settings can be reached under /apps/metacity/ in gconf-editor.

    They're also reachable from /home/alice/.gconf/apps/metacity/

    If you highlight a row and press Enter you should be able to set the shortcut. It will change to "New Shortcut..." and wait for you to type something. Press Backspace will disable it.

    I think you can only use the + and - buttons under the "Custom Shortcuts" section in the sidebar.
