moving selection 1 pixel

Hello,

How can I move selections 1 pixel? According to the documentation, the default shortcut should be ALT+arrow key, but it doesn't work with my system (gimp 1.2.3 on Mandrake 9.0).
Also, ALT+leftmousebutton moves the whole image, instead of the selection path, as it should be by default.
I tried to define those shortcuts in "menurc" but the the file syntax, - i.e ;(menu-path "/Xtns/---" "") - is only related to menu items.
Thank you for you help.

Eduardo

This is because your window manager is intercepting the keybindings and does not transmit them to gimp.
solution: if you are using Enlightenment, Window Maker or Blackbox (and sons), there is a possibility by pressing ctrl (or shift) + alt+leftmouse button. Some other WM may also have this feature working. IIRC, KDE 3 is configured or can be configured from the KDE control center to behave this way. For KDE 2, it's a little more tricky, but I guess if you are using Mdk 9.0, you won't use KDE 2.

Regards,

Olivier.
