I haven't looked at the code, but I believe that the new Alt behavior
needs to be done on the C level.

While the new Alt behavior would be good for Windows users, I wonder
what users of other OSes do?  I think it's also becoming common with
modern X11 applications that Alt-X invokes the menu bar entry X.  But
I think for X11 apps, it's hold-down-Alt-while-pressing-X instead of
the Windows way.

Any ideas?
