[Bug 891622] Re: Alt+Right-click doesn't work on gnome-panel when running compiz

 

This is because the Alt-key + mouseclick is used for moving and resizing
windows.

You can change Compiz to use the Win-key instead of the Alt-key.

gconftool-2 --set --type string
/apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier '<Super>'
