right, and that's why I suggested to make one of the two Alt keys a Meta key,
but if you already have 2 Meta keys, than make one Meta key into an Alt
and you're set.

once you have a Meta and an Alt key it shouldn't matter.

try a xmodmap -pm and you'll see if your 2 Alt keys are defined as Meta or
Alt, i.e. one of the mod<nr> keys will have either Alt_L and Alt_R or
Meta_L and Meta_R assigned. Now use one of the mod<nr> modifiers that
have no key assigned. If you're not sure what to do, than post your
xmodmap -pm output and we'll go from there.
