Can't control-drag tool windows anymore?

Hey, I just noticed that I can't control-drag tool windows anymore in any of the screen modes.

I get the laptop-style collapsing circle that indicates where the mouse curor is. This is really[/b] annoying because I'm trying to tweak my (Borland) IDE. I'm now stuck with the old settings and can't add a tool window to the collection of debug windows.

This was working fine as far as I can remember in beta 4; I don't don't remember trying to so do in beta 4.1.

From the release notes:

http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/fusion/releasenotes_fusion.html#newrc1

Use Control and Command-Click to support multi-button mouse: VMware Fusion now supports Control-Click to send a right mouse click and Command-Click to send a middle mouse click to your virtual machines.

You can disable OS keyboard and mouse shortcuts separately in VMware Fusion > Preferences so all keyboard and mouse input goes directly to the virtual machine.

OK... I read that but its meaning didn't really sink in. I only do dev work with an external keyboard and mouse, so passing all mouse events to the VM makes sense.

I also disabled some Exposé keys since I don't use most of them, but being able to bring up Dashboard within the VM is pretty slick.

Thank you!
