In some X applications, the ALT and ALT GR keys do not work

The X keyboard maps used by Secure Global Desktop include support for the META key on a Sun ™ keyboard. Some X applications choose to use the META key in preference to the ALT key, when both keys are made available in the X keyboard map.

Edit the keyboard map file being used with the application. Replace the following lines:

199  Meta_L NoSymbol NoSymbol NoSymbol
200  Meta_R NoSymbol NoSymbol NoSymbol

With the following:

199  NoSymbol NoSymbol NoSymbol NoSymbol
200  NoSymbol NoSymbol NoSymbol NoSymbol
