[gnome 3.6] Alt window action is now mapped to Super by default

FYI, in case you are - like me - stumped why Alt+MMB/RMB to resize or Alt+LMB to move windows suddenly won't work after the gnome 3.6 upgrade, note that this function is now mapped to the Super (i.e. Windows) key by default.
To revert to the old behavior using gnome-tweak-tool  ("Windows" section) is probably the most straight forward option.

Personally, I think that the Super key makes sense though, as it's an underused button anyway (except in Compiz maybe) and it won't conflict with any Alt+Mouse button functionality in programs like Blender.

WTF!!!!
Thank you! I was also searching for this. The alt key is soo much useful... I set accidently the ~new~ nautilus in full screen and... guess what... there is no way to resize the fullscreen form, and no title bar hahaha. ATL key is so useful, to move and resize.
No way I am going to use the windows key to move or resize, just to hard to learn a new habbit, also might not stay too long in this 3.6, there is still cinnamon to test. Everyone use alt and not super, what would happen if I want to return tno another distro?
anyway, thanks for the post.
