this is darktable darktable-2.4.4-1.fc27

Looking at Fvwm, the first thing Fvwm does with a keybinding like that
is ask X to send mouse events to Fvwm with:
XGrabButton(
dpy, button, binding->Modifier, w,
True, ButtonPressMask |
ButtonReleaseMask, GrabModeSync,
GrabModeAsync, None, cursor);
So, this tells X to let Fvwm know about button 1 press and release
events with Modifier 4. I don't know why that would affect darktable
when Modifier 4 isn't in play.
