Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Hi,
In the early version of Compiz, I loved the resize/move plug ins.

Now, by using a touchpad, it is nearly impossible to use them.

By default, the mouse shortcut to active the move is "Alt+Button1" and
"Alt+Button2" for the resize. So, everyone would agree that "Button2" is
not ideal for touchpad.

So try to change the resize shortcut, for instance to set
"Ctrl+Alt+Button1" and whaou, surprise !! The move shortcut has been
also changed.

Finally, after some headaches, you reach the conclusion that these 2
shortcuts are somewhere related within Compiz and can't be set
independently from each other. That's not good and should be fixed to
allow to specify any shortcut as soon as it is not in conflict with
another one.
