No, with the standard window manager (quartz-wm), alt-click does not 
work like this. Standard MacOSX windows, whether X11 or aqua, cannot be 
moved if the top bar is hidden.

Anyway, I don't think this is the X11 version of scribus. In any case, I 
have never seen this kind of problem with the X11 version. With the aqua 
version it happens.

The preferences file to edit is the same for both versions, 
~/.scribus/prefs13.xml
