I can see reasons to integrate the acme config tool in the keybindings
capplet. But that would mean adding the stuff directly in the
control-centre's keybindings applet. If I can massacre this tool at
will, I see no problem merging it in.

Moving the key handling to Metacity would be plain evil (and stupid
too). I really don't see metacity poking my volume, or the brightness of
my laptop ;)
