Because the proposed workarounds are not very user friendly (unless they can be
installed automatically and safely) I think we should try to work out of the
box. The problem is that the Option-key does not work like an ordinary Alt-key
but as an AltGr-key, i.e., one that produces alternative characters. It seems
that there is actually no equivalent to the Alt-Key as known from other systems.
So I propose to just strip off the Alt-modifier, which is erroneously sent
although a different character code is produced. Because there is not a single
key on my keyboard that would not produce a printable character in combination
with Alt I think this is fine.
This also means that for example the key combination Alt-F will never open the
File menu. Can anybody check if this worked on earlier (i.e. pre-Tiger) X11
versions ?   

Unfortunately, this patch only works for the standard X11 VCL plugin. The gtk
plugin has no chance to fix this, as it receives everything from gtk which would
have to be fixed. 

In fact, the patch does the same as the xmodmap script, but is of course limited
to OOo.
