That's only a warning, so if it works for you... A fully GNOME
Compliant Window Manager has no bindings for mouse button 1 (all
reserved for "gmc"), and no bindings for mouse button 3 (they're
reserved for the gnome menus).

There's a window manager panel in the gnome control panel. Once you
add a setting and switch to it, you have to save the session to make
gnome use that window manager on next start up.
