Alt+Mouse button functionality (feature request?)

[Olivier Fourdan]

Hi,

There are 2 hidden options, ie options that don't have a gui control.

To change these options, create a file called xfwm4rc in $HOME/.xfce4/
(ie $HOME/.xfce4/xfwm4rc) and put that line in it:

cycle_minimum=true
easy_click=false

The option "easy_click" controls the ability to move and resize windows
using the Alt button + mouse click shortcut

Once set to false, simply kill -HUP <pid of xfwm4> and the Alt+Click
will be passed to Maya, achieving what you are looking for.

Cheers,
Olivier.
