[ltp] gnome 2.4, mozilla 1.5 (debian-relativ.org), alt-arrow not working

[Dimitris Kogias]

Pressing (and holding) Alt gives me:

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001,
     root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 41958246, (485,212), root:(514,298),
     state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""

While Alt is down, pressing/releasing left or right produces no event. 
Then, releasing Alt:

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001,
     root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 41959259, (485,212), root:(514,298),
     state 0x8, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""

This is the same with Alt_R.  Seems like it's something "under" 
mozilla...  I'm experimenting with xmodmap/xkeycaps but haven't found 
anything promising yet.

Thanks for the suggestion though :)
