Ubuntu – How to change the alt+middle-mouse-button resize to alt+right-mouse-button

compizmouseresize

I love how you can resize windows by pressing alt+middle-mouse-button and drag.

Though now I got a mouse which doesn't support pressing the middle mouse button..

How do I do to change the combination from alt+middle-mouse-button to alt+right-mouse-button?

(On Ubuntu 11.04 with unity)

Note: Changing Button2 to Button3 or 1 may give you a conflict message. If so, choose "Disable Window Menu". However, Alt+F8 Will give you the same result. key binding conflict dialog
