Gnome 3 ALT+Mouse window moving disabled?

Since when is the alt+mouse shortcut for moving windows disabled?

I'm using gnome 3 on my thinkpad and sometimes windows are just too big so that I have to drag them behind the gnome shell's panel.
I used to do thaat with holding down alt and the left mouse button.

But somehow this shortcut doesn't exist anymore in my system and I don't know how to get it back.
In the gnomes shortcut manager I found out that I now can do that with alt+f7 which isn't quite good since I also have to press the Notebooks Fn-Key and sadly I can't overwrite this shortcut with alt+left mouse.

Weirdly there are no keys in the metacity entry in gconf.

How to re-enable the old shortcut?

Is this gnome fallback? Alt+mouse1 is default in gnome-shell and I don't even see a way to disable that.

asphantix, did you solve this problem? I got the same after upgrading to 3.6 (and I'm not in fallback mode)

Uh! I kinda missed that in all the (alpha/beta/final) release notes I read. Thanks for mentioning.
