>Description:
After the update of gtk20, alt key is not working in gnome-terminal.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run an application that uses alt keys - such as irssi in a
gnome-terminal where alt keys used to work, update gtk20 now they don't.
>Fix:
After rebuild various ports and then some online searching, I found
this:
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/7768/after-update-to-gtk2-2248-2-meta-and-alt-keys-no-longer-works/
Where it appears this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663779
suggests that updating vte is needed to restore alt key usage. The
discussions refer to a patched 0.28.2. (not sure what the patch is yet.)
Which is probably necessary because that's the last version that
supports GTK2 and the fix for #663779 is in 0.32.2.
