Functionally, Mode_switch does the same thing as Option and

Alt is IMHO a fairly foreign key itself as far as X goes, a holdover
from the Windows world I might say, and its non-existence
really should not affect any X program. But it does. So sad.
This is the Linux world's fault, not us =P
I think old Sun keyboards have an Alt key. Meta and Alt are distinct.
The old Sun layout had Caps Lock, Meta and Alt to the left of the
spacebar; and something like AltGr, Meta and Control to the right. The
left Control is to the left of "A", where it belongs.
