After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04, the key sequence ALT-shift-uparrow now seems to have a window-manager level definition.

It seems that this is a new unity key sequence. However, I'm using "Classic Ubuntu" on login -- i.e. I'm using Gnome. Nevertheless, this new key sequence has its Unity functionality.

I'm an emacs user (where meta=ALT), and meta-shift-uparrow is a key sequence that I use fairly often (manipulating tables in org-mode). So I'd like to know how to turn off this Unity/Gnome keybinding, so that emacs actually sees this key sequence.

Thanks!

EDIT: I should have added that as far as I can see, this keybinding (alt-shift-uparrow) is not mentioned in the Gnome "Keyboard Shortcuts" tool (available from the System->Preferences menu).

@Jorge: thanks for the edit. I only mentioned 11.04 because the problem appeared exactly upon upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04. – George McNinch May 7 '11 at 14:34
I don't have time for a full answer but I am reasonably certain that this shortcut is found in the compiz tools, not GNOME's tools. – Jorge Castro May 7 '11 at 15:33
@Jorge: Perfect; thanks. After installing CompizConfig settings manager, turned off "scale" window management option, and the keybinding is now off. – George McNinch May 7 '11 at 15:52

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Dash Home -> CompizConfig Settings Manager-> Scale(icon) under Windows Management Category -> Bindings(tab) -> Initiate Windows Picker -> change to <Shift><Super>Up

Done.
