compiz - Mar 2009 - Compiz Key binding and application key bindings

Hi,

Suppose I have a compiz key-binding (let's say Ctrl and +)  that performs a
particular action (let's say maximization) and the current active
application (say xterm) also does something with the same key-binding (zoom
in xterm) - compiz handles the event and does not pass it on to the
application. Is this desired behavior? Is the behavior configurable?
Shouldn't compiz handle it and also pass it on to the application to do
it's
custom action?
