As far as I can tell, the real problem is a shortage of modifier keys.
There is simply no way we can find a solution that will suit all
users, so everybody will want a different compromise. Which means
what to do with modifier keys under X11 really has to be user
configurable. Of course, it already is, in the sense that users can
play around with xmodmap. But that is not the Mac way.
We do already have a rather poorly named "Enable key equivalents under
X11" option in the X11 Preferences. It would seem like an obvious
place to set some of these other preferences. It's easier than trying
to explain .xmodmap to someone wondering why they can't type special
characters on their keyboard....
I haven't looked to see if the appropriate source is available for
hacking this in, and I don't know enough about X11 keymaps to make
reasonable guesses for settings yet.... ;-)
