Hi there,
in almost any Linux window manager the Alt-key is reserved for window actions, otoh it is important for Inkscape.
I used to map the Alt-key to the Super(Windows)-Key in Gnome to circumvent that, but in Gnome3 you need the Windows key for some actions, too.
From the back of my mind I remember that there was a possibility in
Inkscape to deal with the dual use of the Alt key but I don't remember which one.
Maybe someone can help me?
Cheerz, Lars
I can't speak for Gnome 3, but on my Gnome 2 system I hold the Super key at the same time as Alt, which is enough to stop the window manager thinking I'm trying to move the window, yet Inkscape still treats it the same as just pressing Alt.

That works, thanks!
And I just noticed: When I press Alt *after* starting to mouse-drag the window manager doesn't interfere either.
