I would like it that way, too. Altough I think, that a
decent window manager should be configurable in this
regard (like sawfish for example is), I am quite fond
of blackbox, which has all three alt-clicks hardcoded
to move/raise-lower/resize. 

  "Blackbox follows the rules and assumptions set forth in the 
  Inter-Client Communications Conventions Manual (ICCCM) as  
  closely as possible (this is a work in progress, some of the 
  colormap handling is still unsupported). Blackbox isn't FULLY
  ICCCM compliant because of the explicit key grabs (also known
  as HotKeys) it provides to simplify operation."

Unfourtunatly PD doesn't think of Alt-Gr as just another Alt-Key, so I
could not use this key instead, becaus to blackbox Alt-Gr isn't Alt, too.
