messing around with the linux client, everything seems to work as expected but i must have missed something in the bug list and readme, ... when in windowed mode i cant hold down the alt key and focus in on a object

is this normal?

id pefer to run windowed for multi-tasking and moreso the linux client doesnt have an option for 1280x1024 (just 1280x960 gah)

just wondering...

Sometimes, your window manager or desktop environment uses the ALT key for its own purposes like dragging windows. Try assigning those functions to another key (give those extra "windows" keys a proper use :P ) and see, if the problem goes away.
