Personally, it seems a bit heavy-handed of the Gnome team to block a modifier key so sweepingly. I may see about submitting an enhancement request to them to change that from Alt-click to Alt-rightclick, which seems far better given how broadly the Alt key us used on other platforms and how relatively seldom it's used for moving windows in Gnome-base desktop environments.
I think considering how much of a known behavior this is in the linux desktop world it's unlikely to be changed. True, I wouldn't have made that design decision, but I think it's something we're stuck with. There are lots of decisions I question on other platforms as well (the Start button, naming folders "My <whatever>", etc) but they are what they are.
I think the only time I really use the alt-click window-moving feature is when LiveCode windows misbehave and end up too tall or on the wrong monitor or behind a menubar. Which is fairly often these days.
