Actually I was wrong. It does not work as well with xmonad. Sorry about
that.

Some of these settings seem to be activated in the gnomeconfig of
xmonad (without extra configuration). For instance,
 - window selection follows the mouse,
 - the movement key is set to mod.
I actually thought this was inherited from gnome settings but apparently
not.
In bluetile, the window selection can be configured
(focus_follows_mouse: true) but the movement key cannot as far as I can
tell (probably because there is no mouse bindings so far).

So maybe this report should be classified as an enhancement request for
mouse bindings...

Cheers,

Denis
