Thanks for this great post!

I think we can fix this. I added the above info into a bug
[http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310814] and targetted it to
1.10 (we've entered UI freeze already so can't do it for 1.8).

Note that one complication is that Alt+click is stolen by metacity in
the default configuration; maybe we can change that default or use a
different modifier?
