I don't use ctrl-alt-tab as I find that combination awkward.  The Ubuntu
default binds ctrl-alt-tab to the behaviour I want from alt-tab.  At
least under Ubuntu alt-tab limits itself to the application on the
current workspace.  This does not suit my workflow and so I wanted to
change alt-tab to cycle between applications on *all* workspaces.

It seems that that to do this I need to make changes to the compiz
settings and not the gnome keyboard shortcuts.  Confusing and weird.
