Bug Description

If I switch my "window preferences" movement key to Super/logo (from Alt, the default?), then I cannot any longer change the location of my task bar / panel using either Super-left click/drag nor Alt-left click/drag.

I guess I'd like the movement function for the panel to change with the movement key for other windows, ie it should move with the super key.

Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

Actually, this problem does not exist with the "Ctrl" key as movement key. So it's just the super/logo key which works for other windows but not for the panel.

Hello Christopher Barrington-Leigh
I cannot reproduce this bug with a updated Lucid.
Can you confirm that this issue is not existing at now ?
Thanks in advance.

This was filed against the wrong driver package. -keyboard is no longer maintained; keyboards are managed via the -evdev driver now. However, this isn't really an X issue at all, but more of a window manager problem. Bumping to metacity, although note that Ubuntu now defaults to the Unity as the window manager, so you should re-test this against current Ubuntu.

EOL have been reached, so no more maintenance. If that issue still exist, then report again using ubuntu-bug.
