TerminatorX is cool. I used it first a couple years ago and just started playing
with it again for a real concrete idea a couple weeks ago... I was dismayed when
it blow up on me... however I have found the fix/workaround.

Using Ubuntu 10.10 - 1st workaround was to download and install private copy of
older libgtk2.0.0 from Ubuntu 9. That did not satisfy me...
Further searching revealed that Gtk 2.18 introduced a concept of
'client-side-windows' which was a breaking change,
http://www.gtk.org/notes/gtk-2.18.0-notes.txt.
By changing the terminatorX shortcut to `env GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 terminatorX`
Gtk will use the old window behavior and the Mouse Grab button works without
breaking.
Hope that helps, I am trying to find the one or two other posts where I've been
gathering this information to pass this along.
