You're right, I'm using Gnome.  When I'm not in the game and I press 
Alt-left-mouse-button it lets me move the window I'm focused on.  The 
Mouse preferences does not seem to have a way to change the mouse button 
assignments.  I tried to locate information on where to change these 
settings, but unfortunately I'm too much of a novice to find it.  Can 
you give me any clues as to where I can find how to configure the mouse 
buttons?  I'm guessing it's in the xorg.conf file, but I'm clueless what 
to do there.
