Right, I think that patch shouldn't have added the GDK_META_MASK bit for the
same reason that we have this comment in gdkkeys-x11.c:

  /*  This loop used to start at 3, which included MOD1 in the
   *  virtual mapping. However, all of GTK+ treats MOD1 as a
   *  synonym for Alt, and does not expect it to be mapped around,
   *  therefore it's more sane to simply treat MOD1 like SHIFT and
   *  CONTROL, which are not mappable either.
   */

So, we need to fix this in gtk+ to keep event state compatible with the X
behavior and avoid needless app breakage.
