Changing most usage of the ALT modifier to WIN is something I do, but
only on those odd occasions when I have to nuke my old config.  I use
an enlightenment_remote based script for that.

This is because more often that not, the ALT modified key/mouse
bindings are used by other software that I use regularly.  The Second
Life client is the main culprit though.
