How do I use Unity drag handles?
I saw on this post that Unity has touch enabled drag handles. How do I turn them on so I can use them with a mouse?

The Unity multitouch grab handles plugin ships with Unity. It is activated by a three finger press on a touch screen. You can toggle it by repeatably tapping three fingers on your touchscreen.
You can use it with a mouse by toggling the plugin on and off. To ensure the plugin is enabled, do the following:
Start the CompizConfig Setting Manager: Press Alt + F2 to open the run dialog, type
ccsm, and press Enter (if that doesn't work, you probably need to install the packagecompizconfig-settings-managerfirst).
The grab handle plugin will only work correctly, if the Png plugin is enabled, so scroll down to the Image Loading section and make sure Png is ticked:
(source: xrmb2.net)
Now scroll further down to the Uncategorized section and tick the Unity MT Grab Handles plugin:
(source: xrmb2.net)
By default, there is no shortcut defined to initiate the handles, so click on the Unity MT Grab Handles button to configure the shortcut (and also the fade duration, if you like):
(source: xrmb2.net)
Next to Toggle Handles click on the Disabled button and tick the Enable checkbox:
(source: xrmb2.net)
Now click on Grab key combination and press the desired shortcut:
(source: xrmb2.net)
Confirm and close the CompizConfig Setting Manager. Now you should see the handles like in the picture in the question when using the shortcut you just defined.

I thought three-finger-tap was equivalent to middle click, which is paste? What happens if I have something in my clipboard and I three-finger-tap a window? Will it paste or will drag handles appear? or both? or neither? :D
