           Summary: default settings for xmodmap no longer include Alt_R as
                    a modifier
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: App/other

# Running with Fedora Core 3 (test2)
# xorg-x11-6.8.0-4
#

I noticed after a recent install that my common keypress for changing viewports
in $windowmanger were behaving strangely.  My configured keypress is
<alt><shift>-$arrowkey.  After further investigation, it appears that this
keypress works fine when using Alt_L ... however, Alt_R is causing problems. 
According to `xmodmap` output (see below) it appears that Alt_R is no longer a
modifier.

(~)> xmodmap
xmodmap:  up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_L (0x7d),  Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4        Super_L (0x7f),  Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5        Mode_switch (0x5d),  ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)

I do not have a custom $HOME/.[Xx]modmap configured.  I'm not sure if this is an
expected change or an omission.

Thoughts/comments/concerns?
