This looks strange. Pressing the (left) Alt key sould give
something like this:
KeyPress event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,
root 0x73, subw 0x0, time 3045197954, (505,110), root:(1018,180),
state 0x10, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,
root 0x73, subw 0x0, time 3045198051, (505,110), root:(1018,180),
state 0x18, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
The xev output you presented doesn't indicate that an Alt key has
been pressed.
It indicates that when pressing the Alt key issues a command to
the window manager (or from it?) - WM_PROTOCOLS - to close the
window focussed at the moment - WM_DELETE_WINDOW. This isn't an
action the Alt key should be mapped to.

Didn't you define a keyboard layout in xorg.conf? I'm not sure
about how this is to be done after the massive X update (I read
somethink like DBUS is needed now to select keyboard layout).
Maybe you can try something like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30"
EndSection
Insert the layout you need (e. g. US).
