Keybinding FUBARness.

Hi! I run MATE with Compiz, and love-love-love it... except for
something that's happened very recently. I use the
<alt><left-mouse-button> keybinding for window movement; it's now second
nature, and is on all my systems. Greatest thing since sliced bread;
don't have to even think about finding the dragbar, just drag the whole
darn window. Yay.
But, suddenly, it just stopped working on my primary work system.
Points of consideration:
* Both the alt key and the mouse key work; indeed, my
<ctl><alt><left-mouse-button> keybyinding works great, as per usual.
* Rebooted and even power cycled repeatedly.
* I moved my homedir, copied over my Compiz config to a fresh homedir,
logged in... and it worked! For about 20 seconds.
* ccsm shows everything the way it should be.
I assume something, somehow, is stealing this key combo, but darned if I
know where to look. I *have* noticed a HUD window (apparently Unity
related?) popping up sporadically, usually in relation to Chrome, that
I'd never seen before, over the past few days.
Any hints -- I'd happily disable the HUD (presumably "heads-up display")
window if anyone can tell me how; likewise, any suggestions on where a
keybinding conflict is coming in would be met with open ears.
Thanks!
