Just a thought in general: Don't you need to use an actual LAN IP
(virtual or real) rather than 127.0.0.1?
I thought virtual machines used some kind of bridge interface between
both sides.
Yes, that's a good question. I also recall that now too, actually. I set this up many years ago and have only had this problem for a few years, lol.
I did figure this out - it's actually GNOME that's interpreting/intercepting this ALT-Click combination. Disable it in System Settings under "Special key to move and resize windows". I've never used alt-click to move windows, so disabling it won't affect me.
Thanks,
