2.  Point to the window.  Hold down alt.  Then primary mouse button =
move and secondary = resize.

Alt is convenient while working with applications that frequently create
new windows. Unfortunately it shadows useful actions in various
applications. Browsers allows to select text withing a link without
opening it. Graphics editors use modifiers for mouse events as well.

In GIMP it usually works to press the modifiers after the mouse-down.

For me it is a reason to keep disabled Alt gestures in window managers.

This is one of the few good reasons for me to upgrade to a keyboard with
more modifiers -- so I can use one of the new ones to replace conflicting
key commands.  XFWM (XFCE?) had ctrl+FX = move to workspace X.  Which is
fine, except ctrl-F4 traditionally means "close subwindow/tab".  So that one
got unmapped.
