Fixing the Alt Key Keyboard Shortcut Conflict Between Harmony and Linux

On GNOME 2 and KDE, by default, clicking anywhere on a window while pressing the Alt key will move the window. Because the Alt key is used as a modifier for many drawing and animation tools in Harmony, it is highly recommended to configure your desktop environment to use the Super key (ie: The Windows Logo key, on many keyboards) for this purpose instead.
