I've got public beta 3 of X11 up and running. In general I am happy
with it. I'm noodling about and figuring things out. But, one thing is
not working at all. As I understand it the Alt key should be getting
mapped to the Command key (when enalbe menu key equivilants is off),
but it doesn't seem to be working at least under GIMP 1.2.1). I'd not
really mind except that GIMP uses the Alt key to let you view and
hence edit layer masks.
I've seen the discussions of swapping the Alt key to Option using
xmodmap and I've tried making my own .Xmodmap (based on posts here
that remaps to keycode 66) but that hasn't done anything either.
I'm running Mac OS 10.2.6 on an older blue/white G3 if that makes a
difference. Can anyone help me out here and either get Alt working or,
failing that, tell me how I can edit layer masks in GIMP without it
(you'd think a menu option would exist but it does not seem too).
