Public bug reported:

Just upgraded to oneiric.

The Keyboard Layout Options | Alt/Win key behavior alternatives are:

* Default
    - So what is the "default"?
* Add the standard behaviour to Menu key
    - What is the "standard behaviour"?  What is its relation to "the default"?
    - Which is the "Menu key"?
* Alt is mapped to Right Win, Super to Menu
    - What does "mapped to" mean?  The term "map" is symmetrical, but the 
application here is asymmetrical.  Does this option map the Alt function to the 
Right Win key, or the Right Win function to the Alt keys?  Presumably the 
first, but it isn't clear.  Please say something like "Alt functionality...".
* Alt and Meta are on Alt keys
    - Does this mean that Alt functionality is mapped to the left Alt key and 
Meta to the right Alt key?  Or what?  Not clear.
* Left Alt is swapped with Left Win
    - This and other options are not inherently mutually exclusive.  So why are 
these options on radio buttons?

A Help button on the dialog would be nice.
