Before I file the bug, more observations.
I installed Tigers X11 on Leopard for testing purposes. There both
Ctrl keys are mapped to keycode 67, both Alts to 66, both cmds to 63.
This is in contrast to the latest X11 package for Leopard by Jeremy
Huddleston, where left ctrl is 75, right ctrl 70, both alt keys 66,
left command 63, right command 71.
BUT: Tiger X11 works as I want it to by default. In the latex IDE kile
(which is a KDE app), I can use both alt keys for menu shortcuts (like
Alt-1) as well as for writing special characters (like a backslash by
typing shift-alt-7 on my german keyboard).
xmodmap in tiger X11 gives:
shift Shift_L (0x40), Shift_R (0x44)
lock Caps_Lock (0x41)
control Control_L (0x43), Control_R (0x46)
mod1 Mode_switch (0x42), Mode_switch (0x45)
mod2 Meta_L (0x3f)
mod3
mod4
mod5
But if I use xmodmap to replicate this settings in the latest Xorg
package, menu shortcuts don't work.
