This might be a dumb question, but I've googgled and searched for it and couldn't find any good answer.

I am using Maya 2011, which usually uses the ALT key as a shortcut by default for a lot of things (select objects, etc...). However, since Gnome uses ALT + click to drag windows, Maya does not let me use ALT for anything, and apparently the Windows key has taken now this role, so I can select objects through Windows key + click while ALT + click drags the whole window.

I know I can change the ALT key behaviour in Gnome in Windows Preferences -> Movement Key, but this does only changes ALT behaviour in Gnome, while Maya still uses Windows key for selection.

I am asking this because in KDE was a very simple thing to change, I remember I just changed something about modifier key, and it all went back to normal, without changing any configuration inside Maya, and I believe Gnome has to have a similar option that I cannot find.

Thanks!
