xfwm4 and moving windows [SOLVED]

[Nathan England]

I got it figured out. In my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file under Serverlayout section, 
I had...

InputDevice "Mouse" "SendCoreEvents" 

instead of

InputDevice "Mouse" "CorePointer"

I can now move windows about just fine.

I Appreciate your help. The reason for this was that I have a synaptics mouse 
on my laptop, but not on my second laptop, but I directly copied my xorg.conf 
file... just disabling the synaptics driver, but I never corrected the above.

thank you!
