I have a nasty suspision that asking a user to change the configuration 
of their WM will not be acceptable. On the other hand Gnome allows you 
to use the Windows key as the move modifier, now we just need to 
persuade them that this should be the default setting!

Of course this all become more complex when compiz \ Xgl become more 
wide spread, since it uses a much larger range of modifier keys.
