If I am not mistaken, GNOME currently behaves exactly like Windows XP
in this area: Windows XP also requires two presses of alt if you want
alt to be considered to still be pressed down even after pressing a
non-modifier key.  Now, I could be mistaken, especially since I do not
have access to a MS Windows system to verify myself, but korn AT
sun.com claimed this at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102656#c11 and Bill seemed
to verify it later in the same bug report.  ;-)
