No, but I never used X that much that it would have been disturbing. I
thought the Alt Keycode sequences might fail because X disables the ALT
keys, but it seems (when using xmodmap to modify the modifier keys) that X
disables any of the modifier keys and lets non of them pass through to any
input window.
The only solution atm is to use xmodmap to produce some strange keyboard
layout with the most important keys somewhere.
