Hello,

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS with a dual monitor setup. When I start KF and run it in windowed-mode I am unable to move my mouse outside of the window to move the window itself. I would like it to be on my primary monitor and it starts up on the secondary one.

I'm coming back to Linux after a semi-brief hiatus. Any help is appreciated!

Figured out a workaround. Pressing shift+tab to bring up Steam overlay allows user to manipulate location of window. I consider this a workaround because it is dependent on the Steam overlay instead of a native solution.

Anyone know a Linux trick to tell the mouse to deselect the current window and bump it out to the OS?

IIRC, Alt + F7 will allow you to move the window.

If that doesn't work then try Alt + Tab to "deselect" the window so you should be able to move it. (I know this works in Windows, but I'm pretty sure Linux adopted it.)
