I've got
Photoshop CS2 running on Ubuntu 11.10 with WINE. I noticed that when I upgraded from Ubuntu 11.04 that any command in Photoshop that needed the
ALT (Left Click) combo would not work. I know it had to do with all the
Unity Keyboard Shortcuts but which one?
I'll save you some guess work. Open
CompizConfig Setting Manager then scroll down to the
Window Management section. Click on the
Move Window option (3 column, 2 one down).
This will open the
General Tab. Notice the
Initiate Window Move shortcut? Yeah, it's set to
ALT-Button1 or
ALT Left Click. So every time we try an ALT command in Photoshop, Unity intercepts the
ALT-Left Click and tries to
Initiate Window Move. So to change it
Click on the button labeled <ALT>Button1 beside the
Initiate Window Move option in the
General Tab
This will open a window that allows you to change the shortcut to a combination that you don't need anywhere else.
Now your ALT Clicks in Photoshop will behave as you expect (in this screen shot I've set my
Initiate Window Move combo to
SHIFT CTRL Button1).
B.T.W. the
SUPER = the windows logo key on your keyboard

It is interesting to see a Windows user's progress as you realized how great the non-Windows world is.
I have my system set up to dual-boot (triple actually... well quadruple if you count my second OSX partition) and have found that I very much prefer my Linux partition, although from my fondness of OSX I think I really just like *nix systems in general.
One more thing... I discovered this the other day while trying to make Nautilus look a little less cluttered.
If you want to hide a file or folder without putting a . (full stop) in front of it (say, for instance, you want to hide a folder, but the system requires a specific path) it is very simple to do.
Create a simple text file in the location of the desired hidden file/folder, and in it list the files/folders you want hidden in Nautilus. Amazing!
Unfortunately, this does not work for all file browsers, nor will it be recognized in an open/save dialog.
Cutis Shimamoto, Thanks for the comments and tip. I was going to do the dual-boot but I found Virtual Box covers all my Microsoft Windows needs. (I don't play many PC games, I have an xbox).
My Virtual Box setup has a Dos 6.1, Windows 3.1, Windows XP Pro, Windows 7 Pro, and even a Linux Mint 12 image. I can run any of them from within Ubuntu and share data between all of them.
