This is a GNUstep configuration issue. If the AltGr key isn't alternate, it
shouldn't be reported as alternate. You probably want to adjust the
GSFirstAlternateKey and GSSecondAlternateKey defaults (described in the -back
documentation; iirc, Preferences can be used to change them). Unfortunately,
the default values aren't good, especially not when you use AltGr as "mode
switch".
I guess situations where you want don't want to treat alternate as meta overlap
with the situations where you want to treat command as meta. I could change the
behavior so that enabling that option causes alternate to be ignored here.
However, this would cause right alt to stop working as meta when using this
option, which might not be always be desirable. Comments? How common is it to
use GNUstep without fixing these keys? (Eg. moving command to a windows-key and
alternate to both alts if you have a windows-ish keyboard.)

Summary: Problem with "Alt-Gr" modifier key on non-US keyboards
Original Submission: The "Alt-Gr" modifier key (reported by GNUstep as
"Alternate Key"), which is required on German keyboards to type the characters
[]{}@, doesn't work in GNUstep.
In the method handleKeyEvent in TerminalParser_Linux.m, it says...
if (mask&(NSAlternateKeyMask|NSCommandKeyMask))
{
NSDebugLLog(@"key",@" meta");
[ts ts_sendCString: "e"];
}
If I remove NSAlternateKeyMask from that test, everything seems to work fine.
