Evolution: Why does CTRL-left mouse drag windows instead of toggle selection?

[Tod Hagan]

Hrm,

The Windows Preferences dialog at System -> Preferences -> Windows
controls this at the bottom of the dialog pane: Movement Key. Choices
are Control, Alt, and Super (or "Windows logo").

I changed this and promptly forgot I'd done so.

It affects all uses of the control key while left-clicking, not just
Evolution.
