I have problem with this function because i work in Maya and other 3D applications that use this key combination... This option on Ubuntu 11.04 was in "window" section so i could change it to something else to avoid conflicts... where is this located in Ubuntu 11.10?

It’s a Compiz plugin.

Install Compiz Config Settings Manager (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager in a terminal) and open it.

Once opened, search for a “Move Window” plugin. Select it, and disable or change the first option, that says something like “Initiate window movement” (I have Spanish locale).

CCSM window

For Unity 2d:

The original poster didn't specify what version of Unity he was using. Ubuntu users with computers that can't handle Compiz are running Unity-2D with Metacity. The solution you posted doesn't work for them. If possible, you should provide both solutions. – user27451 Nov 10 '11 at 11:13

In conf-editor (you can open it from terminal) go to:
/apps/metacity/general
In the "mouse_button_modifier" option change <Alt> to <Super> or something else.
