[Bug 38243] Dapper: Window properties no longer has an option for <Super>

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
In breezy I had configured metacity to let me drag windows by holding
<Mod4> (aka Super aka the Windows logo key).  In dapper the option
disappeared from the gnome-window-properties dialog.  Instead I see only
two radio buttons (Ctrl and Alt), and *both are selected*.  If I select
either of them, I can no longer go back to the Penguin key.

I would like to have the <Mod4> option back in the dialog.

If that is not possible (the mythical GNOME gods requiring a sacrifice
of a certain number of user interface features for a successful
release), I'll be content with setting
/apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier to <Mod4> with gconf-
editor, but I think it would make more sense to show neither Ctrl nor
Alt as selected, instead of showing both.

(Why do I want <Mod4>?  Ctrl+click and Alt+click both have meaningful
actions in Firefox and some other applications.)
