mod1 (alt) is recognized correctly (in all keyboard commands
as well as in mod1-button3 + dragging, i.e. window resize).

maybe it is an mac related X11 issue, but I'm not sure. I
still use the (old) Xfree86 version coming with macos 10.4
and it works correctly AFAICS.

but what I realized only now is that mod1-button1-click
anyway does usually insert previously selected text in an
xterm (i.e. this combination emulates a sole button2 click).
and it does this still, so maybe this function masks the
`dwm' definition.

anyway, thanks for bothering,
