<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I don't think we should be adding
distro specific instructions to the wiki (it's a Blender manual
after all). This will just lead to a chronic maintenance hassle
given the number of distros, window managers and customization
possibilities. e.g. I'm on arch with fluxbox as my WM, so Ubuntu
and gnome instructions are irrelevant to me, just as they would be
for any Ubuntu user who had installed XFCE, openbox etc.<br>
<br>
I think it's best to simply make a note of the potential for the
ALT+mouse click conflict and indicate that users may either want
to change their distro/window manager settings (in which case they
should consult that documentation) or alter the Blender key
setting. I'd rewrite this as something like:<br>
<br>
**<br>
Many Linux distributions default to <span class="hotkey">Alt+</span><span
class="hotkey" style="padding-left: 3px;">LMB</span> for moving
windows which can cause input conflicts since Blender uses
Alt+Click for many operations. The simplest way to avoid this is
to change the key setting for your window manager. Please consult
your window manager's documentation for instructions.<br>
<br>
Alternately, you could change the Blender key setting by editing
the relevant Input settings from the User Preferences window. Note
that there are several settings that need to be changed so the
recommended method is to change the key settings for your window
manager.<br>

Probably you should add your fix to the documentation, making as
generic as possible, for KDE.<br>

I know a LOT of KDE users. I would think Ubuntu is bigger
but there<br>
are plenty of KDE users.<br>
My kde Sabayon is using Nvidia 310.19<br>
Is Ubuntu more up to date?<br>
<br>
My fix for kde is EASY just change the KDE system key to the
meta key.<br>
