Disabling Alt-Window-Dragging

Hi.
A very noob question in F15/Gnome3/gnome-shell. Most graphics applications use Ctrl-dragging and Alt-dragging for a few functions. In F15/Gnome3, holding Alt while dragging the mouse moves the entire window. I used to disable that in previous Fedora versions from compiz (as it was responsible for this behavior), but F15 is not running compiz-fusion.

I tried looking in gnome-tweak-tool, and keyboard shortcuts under System Settings, but couldn't find it. Any idea how to disable it?

Thanks

Re: Disabling Alt-Window-Dragging

This works, but I found that in my version of F16 didn't have it installed.

A simple

Code:
sudo yum install gconf-editor
sorted it out though

Remember to change <Alt> for something like <Super>
