I'm glad I could help!
I think the problem is that Tk does not seem to differ between the two
Alt keys at all; from man bind:
" Similarly, the Alt modifier refers to whichever modifier is associated
with the alt key(s) on the keyboard (keysyms Alt_L and Alt_R). "
So obviously this has to be taken into account when changing xmodmap
behavior. I am not familiar with xmodmap at all, maybe just defining the
changes for "keysym" instead of "keycode" in ~/.Xmodmap helps (iirc
someone suggested this somewhere, I am not sure at all though).
It is just a guess, but maybe gtk and qt are aware of two different Alt
keys so the problem does not occur there.
Regards
Michael
