A: No. Please install the Framework into the same directory like the previous Framework installation without deinstallation: the licence file and user settings like additional windows, special window settings etc. will be maintained and can be reused in the new installation.

A: That's a feature of your window manager. If you're on GNOME using Metacity (default WM), you can go to System > Preferences > Windows and change the "Movement Key" (this will just map it to another combination, of course).
A: If you're on KDE go to "System Settings", then in the Personal section "->Desktop->Window Behavior", there will be "Window Actions". Change your setting for "Modifier Key + left Button" from "Move" to "Nothing" or change your modifier Key to Meta instead of Alt.

Back to questions

A: Use SHIFT + right click with your mouse (instead of just right clicking as known from working under Windows).

Back to questions

A: Newer Linux distributions have enabled new kernel security extensions from the SELinux project at the NSA. These extensions allow finer-grained control over system security. However, SELinux also changes some default system behaviors, such as shared library loading, that can be problematic to third party programs. For testing you should deactivate your SELinux by setting the line SELINUX=disabled in your /etc/sysconfig/selinux file and reboot your system. But that is not secure, please read the man pages of SELinux.
