I agree, but isn't the event defined as Alt-Button1-Move?
as I said before, I'm totally fine that you cannot use
Alt-Button-Move events inside a window, because those are
handled by the window manager, but IMHO Alt-Button1 isn't
Alt-Button-Move (because I still can decide to release
the button without moving, no?)

so, IMHO the events should work like this:

Alt                     -> Alt down passed to app
Alt-Button1             -> Button1 passed to app
Alt-Button1-Move        -> nothing passed, sawfish handles that
Alt (Button Released)   -> Button1 released passed to app
(Alt Released)          -> Alt released passed to app

of course, if I define Alt-Button1 to have some meaning
for sawfish, the only event the app will see by default
is the Alt down/up

this kind of flexibility is why I'm using sawfish :)

thanks for the quick reply,
