I think I figured out what is happening. The new Gnome Shell has a
default setting where modal dialog boxes are attached to the main window
of the application. This is supposed to make sure that it keeps them
together if they are moved. However, it appears that the alt-left click
behavior doesn't work with these modal dialog boxes.
You can separate the modal dialog boxes from the main window by turning
off a gnome config setting.
You can turn the setting off using the command line or gconf-editor.
The path to the setting is desktop/gnome/shell/windows/attach_modal_dialogs.
You have to logout after turning off the setting. Once you do, modal
dialogs will be separate windows and you will be able to alt-click to
grab and move them.
