disable alt-right click in gnome

Interestingly if you open gconf-edit (ALT+F2 then type gconf-edit in the box then click Run) you can navigate to apps --> metacity and under window_keybindings there is activate_window_menu which is set to <Alt>space, which does indeed bring up the same menu as <Alt>RMC. If you change it then <Alt>RMC still works.

Not sure what you can do about that.

Thanks Alan.
I changed <alt><space> to "disabled" and this does remove the
binding to <alt><rmc>.

Closed.

thanks
I changed it to disabled which actually DOES help. Why this is so I don't
know.

Under gconf-editor in ubuntu you can go to apps --> metacity --> general

find the mouse_button_modifier which has the <atl> value.

Change it to disabled. This will solve the alt+right click problem.

The only problem is that you can't use the alt+left click which moves the window and the alt+middle click which resized it.

Personally I never use them so it works just fine.

Stratos

P.S. I can play warcraft in wine now, without annoying window pop ups... yay! (in warcraft you use alt+rmc too much)
