It would still be nice to be able to configure this in Inkscape. The Ubuntu default is Gnome w/ Metacity, and the default move-window key is Alt+drag. Can someone using KDE comment on the default use of Alt in KDE? Is Alt already in use by default in KDE?
Yes, it is. (I use Alt-Drag to pull windows around quite a bit.)
Using Alt really does make sense on Windows, and probably OSX. Asking every Linux user on KDE, Gnome, and probably other WMs to change their key bindings seems a little presumptuous.
It must be hard to work arround the wide range of Linux configurations, and I don't know what percentage of Inkscape users are even on Linux, but I think since the two leading WMs use Alt+drag by default, maybe the developers could reconsider their use of the Alt key.
Thanks,
