I'm not sure how to follow up. Every time I've asked about this in the
past, I've been promptly ignored. I don't know who I need to thwack to
understand this complaint.
From some standpoint, I just (normally) use xterm, as I gave up trying
to make progress with the gnome folks. Although for reasons I do not
understand sometime in the not too distant past xterm also stopped
working. I dunno why. Maybe some weird interaction between the Xserver
and xterm? I dunno.
Alt is not working "enough".
