The above procedure works here (lenny).
If I set, for instance, "<Control>a" as keycombo for "/apps/metacity/
global_keybindings/run_command_terminal" it works right after I define
the value (no need to restart nor relogin).
Which makes me think that maybe you are using a keycombo that is already
being used by other action and it collides with this. Have you tried with
different combinations?
It can be also happening that the keyboard layout is making noise here
(swapped Alt or Ctrl keys?).
