Hi, I'm interested in changing the behaviour of gnome-panel such that it's only possible to move it when MOD1 (default: ALT) is pressed, to get around bug 309721.[1] In attempting to make this change, I realized quickly that metacity needs to be modified in order for this to happen, because it's grabbing all mouse button events when the alt-key is depressed. Is there a way around this? I was playing around with the event loop in metacity today, and I figured out that I can disable the button event grab on a specific panel window when it's clicked on in the event loop (via meta_change_button_grab and its associated call to XUngrabButton), but I guess what I really need is to disable the button event grab for those windows at the very beginning.
