The main question, though, is how the different key modifiers work at different points on different platforms.
Checks probably should be done on Linux, Windows and OS X. Also I know that we might want to check remote X11 and VNC behavior.
Those last three got in the way of certain things in the past, and hid some problems that would show on "normal" platforms.
BTW... just to make things "fun", X11 for OS X has the following preference:
[_] Enable keyboard shortcuts under X11 If you select this option, using keyboard shortcuts for menu commands may interfere with X11 applications that use the Meta modifier.
Again, the patch should not have any effect even then, unless the user has specifically set the "mapalt" option to something other than "1", something a Mac user is unlikely to do, but I suppose could happen if the user has copied their perfs from a Linux box.
"Should" and "Could" are great words, aren't they? If someone else can have a poke at the code I'm happy to work on improving it. But with only a couple of Linux machines I'm not in a position to test the other platforms.
