I have space and backspace in my gconf database too, but I never use it
(and I don't want to try ctrl-alt-backspace anyway since it is supposed
to kill X...).

It looks like your ctrl-alt-left/right are not working. Did you change
the default key shortcut in the compiz gconf config? I've one such case
in the past, we only solved it by deleting the whole tree of compiz
config in the gconf database.

I didn't change anything. It seems to be
/apps/compiz/plugins/plane/allscreens/options/plane_left_key and
plane_right_key, set to <Control><Alt>Left and right here.
