You can do it, there is just no GUI for it at the moment-- well, unless
you're running Sun's version of GNOME 2.0 :)  You can define up to 12
shortcuts of your own.

Easiest way currently is to run gconf-editor, and navigate to
/apps/metacity/keybinding_commands.  There you will see the gconf keys
"command_1" to "command_12" that you can edit to run any command you
like.  To define the keyboard shortcut for "command_<n>", edit the
corresponding "run_command_<n>" key in
/apps/metacity/global_keybindings.

Cheeri,
Calum.
