The alt key doesn't seem to be usable on XQuartz.
I am trying to alt+click to select an object below a current one.
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work, is there any way to overcome this?
OS X: 10.5.4 X11: 2.3.0 Inkscape: 0.46
X11 Settings -> Input:
Follow System Keyboard Layout: True Enable Key Equivalents Under X11: True
Sorry to reply so late.

Try un-checking those two options.
Alternatively you can force the Alt behaviour via Xmodmap. Create a file names .Xmodmap in your user directory. The dot is important, to create a file with such a filename, open a terminal window and write:
touch .Xmodmap open .Xmodmap
And then write this inside:
keycode 66 = Alt_L keycode 69 = Alt_R clear mod1 add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R
restart X11 and it should work. I would guess that you need to have Follow System Keyboard Layout unchecked for this to have any influence.
PS: By the way, you can also use Xmodmap to swap the Control and Apple keys so that Inkscape shortcuts look more like those of regular OS X applications (i.e. Apple+C to copy, Apple+V to paste etc.). Juste add that in the .Xmodmap
! switch meta and control clear mod2 clear control add mod2 = Control_L Control_R add control = Meta_L Meta_R
Hope that helps.

Thanks mate, most of it seems to work
Holding alt shows the correct info on the status bar (ie, alt+click to select object below), yet, when I click instead of selecting the object below, it zooms.

this definitely reminds me of something. I think it has to do with three button mouse emulation in X11.app: alt+click means middle click which zooms in Inkscape. Try to uncheck this option in X11 preferences.
