I'm using Photoshop through Wine and the ALT key is currently mapped to the window picker. However, I need the functionality of the ALT key within Photoshop. In previous Ubuntu versions I could change it under Preferences > Windows. How can it be done in Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity 2D?

You will have to launch gconf-editor and navigate to Apps>metacity>general, then change mouse_button_modifier to <Super>.
