[Bug 54410] Re: desktop switching issue

[gwilson]

my expectation was that the desktop would switch only if
ctrl+alt+direction were pressed all at the same time, and never
otherwise.  That's the way things work in most other programs; for
example, if you hold ctl+shift+left in a text editor (with PC-like
bindings) it highlights one word to the left.  Then continue holding
shift and press left (or right) and it will highlight a char at a time.
