You mean you use Emacs's internal input methods. I occasionally use them as
well, but I mostly use XIM input methods and they work just fine with Emacs.

So maybe the physical key is located on the right side of the space bar and
it has a little bit of text on it that says "alt", so *you* think of it as
a "right alt key".
But as far as X clients are concerned this is not a "right alt key".
