For Openbox (which can be used as the window manager within XFCE), I
have in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml:
<mouse>
...
<context name="Frame">
...
<mousebind button="W-Left" action="Drag">
<action name="Move"/>
</mousebind>
...
<mousebind button="W-Right" action="Drag">
<action name="Resize"/>
</mousebind>
...
This way, I can move (resp. resize) windows using the left (resp. right)
mouse button while the left logo key is being held (xev calls the key
Super_L). This allows Alt-drag to work normally in Firefox to select
text from clickable links (as well as Alt-LMB to work in Gimp, etc.).
