Hi,

Under Linux I tend to use the alt-drag shortcut common to most window managers.
(It moves a window without needing to use the titlebar.) Unfortunately,
OpenOffice.org tends to clash with that.

Pressing alt in OOo puts the focus on menu. This means that immediately after an
alt-drag, if I forget to click somewhere else before I start typing, I, at best,
cannot get my keystrokes into my document, at worst, enable an arbitrary menu 
item.

This is somewhat irritating. It is also somewhat unintuitive because, usually,
alt is a modifier key and does nothing on it's own.

So, is it possible for it to be made an option to disable this shortcut?

Thanks!
