hmm...

i use gnome and the sawfish window manager and left clicks work for me.
it's probably because a long time ago i setup sawfish to use the
(otherwise useless) windows key as the meta-key for window actions (it
seemed to make more sense and is very handy). if anyone is interested,
they can do this in gnome configuration manager -> sawfish -> shortcuts.
