What exactly is this aggravation? I haven't yet seen an explanation
here.
Well, Alt is sometimes used in shortcuts. For example, the X11 Firefox
uses Alt+<letter> to open a menu. If you open the X11 Firefox (on a
remote machine, for example), typing "Alt-f" does not give you the
File menu if Mode_switch is activated.
Other applications which use Alt for shortcuts will similarly be
affected.
