Hello, I also had an alt key problem when I switched to the ion window manager (and I was having slight issues before when I was using window maker, too). Here's the content of my .Xmodmap file, I don't know if this can help you: !keycode 66 = Mode_switch !keycode 69 = Alt_L keycode 66 = Alt_L clear mod2 clear mod4 add mod4 = Meta_L clear mod1 add mod1 = Alt_L This seems to have totally solved the alt key problem for me (I use an Ibook). I really do thik the first two lines are comment and you can remove them. I still havn't found how to use it when X starts though, so I run by hand xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap every time I restart X (which is about once a month so this has not turned to be a terrible problem). Hope this works for you too!
