Cant get some Compiz button/mouse bindings to work.

Hi all,

Because my middle mouse button isn't nice to press, I hardly even use 
the window-menu but do resize window using mouse fairly often I would 
like to switch the Alt-Button2 and Alt-Button3 actions.

So Alt-Button2 should open the window-menu, and Alt-Button3 initiates 
window resize.

I've tried setting it as such using CCSM, and when that didn't work also 
with Gconf-editor directly, but is just won't work... Alt-button3 keeps 
opening the window-menu and Alt-Button2 still resizes. :(

Strange thing is that CCMS and Gconf-editor don't even display the same 
values for these settings any more.

/apps/compiz/plugins/resize/allscreens/options/initiate_button is set to 
"<Alt>Button3", while at the same time in CCSM the "Initiate Window 
Resize" setting under "Resize Window" settings is set to "<Alt>Button2".

I've been unable to find other keys that might store the settings set in 
CCSM. Which is strange because AFAIK all compiz settings are stored in 
gconf, right?

Hmm, just also found /apps/metacity/general/resize_with_right_button in 
gconf, tried setting that too but has no effect.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mark.
