This has been requested in the past. Really, xfwm4 has the keybindings
in order to manage itself, and as the global location for standard
Xfce keyboard shortcuts. It's really not the place for generic
keyboard shortcuts, and this is why it's been turned down in the past.

I have some code for providing a complete keybinding solution for
Xfce, but it has been sitting for quite a while. I think a few others
have taken a stab at it. I might try to get it together and submit it
for inclusion after 4.2 is released.
