[Bug 511225] Re: running sugar causes left-click not to work properly in GNOME

[Luke Faraone]

Patch rejected upstream (by Tomeu):

"""
I'm quite confused at how alsroot's workaround can work. Just tried it here and with <Super> I cannot move windows with <Alt>+Click.

That said, I don't see how it could be a problem for Sugar, so I can
apply that patch if it works for the rest.

Bug description:
After installing this package, the mouse is not working like its supposed to in Gnome. <ctrl> needs to be pressed when clicking for the left mouse button to work. Bug only appears after sugar is used.  Henry Grover wrote this shell script to fix the bug temporarily:

#!/bin/bash
#Fix metacity clicking problem caused by alsroot's sugar, run in the home directory of whoever has the problem
