Public bug reported:
My Alt key no longer acts as Meta in gnome-terminal on my precise system
as of today. So for example in bash, Alt+b no longer moves back a word,
Alt+Backspace no longer deletes a word, etc. These keystrokes now act
as if Alt was not pressed.
Other libvte-based terminals like xfce4-terminal are not affected.
I traced this to the upload of gtk+3.0 3.2.2-0ubuntu1. After
downgrading libgtk-3-0, libgail-3-0, libgail-3-common, gir1.2-gtk-3.0,
libgtk-3-bin from 3.2.2-0ubuntu1 to 3.2.0-0ubuntu3 and restarting gnome-
terminal, the problem goes away.
