really, xfwm4 is not meant as a general keybinding manager.  the 10 
shortcuts provided are just for the casual user, for convenience.  if 
you really want more than that, you should be using something like 
xbindkeys.

on the other hand, if someone wanted to write an MCS plugin for 
xbindkeys that can detect whether or not it's installed and show/hide 
itself appropriately, i'm sure we'd include it in xfce-mcs-plugins...
