Actually while customizing xfce-desktop , I have disabled  title bar for my
firefox  , evolution apps so I was using Alt + middle/double click shortcuts
for window maxmize/ background purpose while focus being anywhere  in app
window . As I couldn't use single click on title bar any more .

Now with no-title-bar , I really  don't  want to give user a ability to
maximize those windows .So I don't need Alt+middle/double click shortcut .
Atm , for windows  having title bar , I can use single  click/double click
shortcuts .

I saw Xfwm/EasyClick key in settings.c file of xfwm4 code . I disabled that
key but still it doesn't turn out for me .
